Laughter among deaf signers.
The placement of laughter in the speech of hearing individuals is not random but "punctuates" speech, occurring during pauses and at phrase boundaries where punctuation would be placed in a transcript of a conversation. For speakers, language is dominant in the competition for the vocal tract since laughter seldom interrupts spoken phrases. For users of American Sign Language, however, laughter...
متن کاملSimple Spans in Deaf Signers and Hearing Non-Signers
Short-term memory is traditionally assessed by digit span tests. Deaf signers (DS) have repeatedly been reported to perform at lower levels on this test than hearing non-signers (NH [3]), despite equal performance on more complex working memory tasks and other cognitive tasks. Hearing signers have also been shown to perform at lower levels when they are tested on sign language compared to spoke...
متن کاملThe effects of spatial attention on motion processing in deaf signers, hearing signers, and hearing nonsigners.
Visual abilities in deaf individuals may be altered as a result of auditory deprivation and/or because the deaf rely heavily on a sign language (American Sign Language, or ASL). In this study, we asked whether attentional abilities of deaf subjects are altered. Using a direction of motion discrimination task in the periphery, we investigated three aspects of spatial attention: orienting of atte...
متن کاملSimilar digit-based working memory in deaf signers and hearing non-signers despite digit span differences
Similar working memory (WM) for lexical items has been demonstrated for signers and non-signers while short-term memory (STM) is regularly poorer in deaf than hearing individuals. In the present study, we investigated digit-based WM and STM in Swedish and British deaf signers and hearing non-signers. To maintain good experimental control we used printed stimuli throughout and held response mode...
