The Invariance of Sentence Performance Structures Across Language Modality.

Grosjean, Francois; And Others

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, v7 n1 p216-30 Feb 1981

Native users of American Sign Language manipulated sentences in four ways: sign them at slow rate, parse them, make relatedness judgments of pairs of signs taken from each sentence, and recall the sentences. Hierarchical performance structures for each of the sentences were highly similar across tasks. (Author/RD)
