The 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 کاملVisual imagery and visual-spatial language: enhanced imagery abilities in deaf and hearing ASL signers.
The ability to generate visual mental images, to maintain them, and to rotate them was studied in deaf signers of American Sign Language (ASL), hearing signers who have deaf parents, and hearing non-signers. These abilities are hypothesized to be integral to the production and comprehension of ASL. Results indicate that both deaf and hearing ASL signers have an enhanced ability to generate rela...
متن کاملMemory for faces and objects by deaf and hearing signers and hearing nonsigners.
The memory of 11 deaf and 11 hearing British Sign Language users and 11 hearing nonsigners for pictures of faces of and verbalizable objects was measured using the game Concentration. The three groups performed at the same level for the objects. In contrast the deaf signers were better for faces than the hearing signers, who in turn were superior to the hearing nonsigners, who were the worst. T...
متن کاملNeuroanatomical differences in visual, motor, and language cortices between congenitally deaf signers, hearing signers, and hearing non-signers
WE INVESTIGATED EFFECTS OF SIGN LANGUAGE USE AND AUDITORY DEPRIVATION FROM BIRTH ON THE VOLUMES OF THREE CORTICAL REGIONS OF THE HUMAN BRAIN: the visual cortex surrounding the calcarine sulcus in the occipital lobe; the language-related cortex in the inferior frontal gyrus (pars triangularis and pars opercularis); and the motor hand region in the precentral gyrus. The study included 25 congenit...
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...
