The Instantiation of General Terms by Deaf Adolescents/Adults.
Strassman, Barbara K.; And Others
Journal of Communication Disorders, v20 n1 p1-13 Feb 1987
Two studies examined the ability of 22 deaf high school students to instantiate (select appropriate word meaning from context) particular exemplars of general nouns and to use those instantiations as retrieval cues. Among results were that subjects could instantiate when asked to do so but did not do so spontaneously. (Author/DB)
