Siple, Patricia – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1977
Two recognition memory experiments were used to study the retention of language and modality of input. A bilingual list of American Sign Language signs and English words was presented to two deaf and two hearing groups, one instructed to remember mode of input, and one hearing group. Findings are analyzed. (CHK)

Peer reviewedHanson, Vicki L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 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)
