Short-Term Recall by Deaf Signers of American Sign Language: Implications of Encoding Strategy for Order Recall.

Hanson, Vicki L.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, v8 n6 p572-83 Nov 1982

Short-term recall of printed English words by deaf signers of American Sign Language was found to be less than that of hearing subjects when ordered recall, but not when free recall, was required. Results were consistent with the hypothesis that a speech-based code facilitates retention of order information. (Author/RD)
