Effects of Motoric Requirements on the Acquisition of Manual Sign Responses by Severely Handicapped Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kohl, Frances L. – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1981
Symmetrical signs were acquired significantly faster than were asymmetrical signs, and touch signs were acquired significantly faster than were nontouch signs. Results of the acquisition of iconic v abstract signs were inconclusive. (Author)

Acquisition and Generalization of Simple Manual Sign Grammars by Aphasic Subjects.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Coelho, Carl A. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1990
This study of four moderately to severely aphasic subjects found that success in manual sign training programs is related to severity of aphasia, that aphasic subjects' propositional use of manual signs rarely follows simple acquisition, and that generalization to untrained stimuli or environments does not occur without additional training.…

Johnson, Jeanne M.; Ruder, Kenneth F. – 1986
A study compared the performance of congenitally deaf signers (N=39) and hearing individuals (N=39) on a bilateral tachistoscopic task. Subjects were exposed to pretested linguistic and nonlinguistic stimuli during the task. Analysis of response time indicated that deaf subjects were slower to respond than were hearing subjects across all…

The Role of Iconicity in Sign Language Learning by Hearing Adults.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lieberth, Ann K.; Gamble, Mary Ellen Bellile – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1991
This study evaluated the recognition and retention of transparent and nontransparent manual signs by 50 sign-naive hearing college freshmen. There was a significant decrease in the number of nontransparent signs retained as the period of time after training increased. Implications for sign language training with nonverbal hearing persons are…

Communication Mode as a Factor in the Performance of Hearing-Impaired Children on a Standardized Receptive Vocabulary Test.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Crittenden, Jerry B.; And Others – American Annals of the Deaf, 1986
Deaf children (N=52) were administered a videotaped presentation of a vocabulary test under one of five conditions: Total Communication (TC) with audio; TC without audio; Manual Communication (MC) with no mouth movement; Oral Communication (OC) with audio; and OC without audio. Modes using MC or TC yielded performances significantly superior to OC…

Brasel, Kenneth E.; Quigley, Stephen P. – 1975
Seventy-two deaf Ss (10- to 19-years-old) were tested, employing the Test of Syntactic Ability (TSA), the language sub-tests of the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT), and analyses of written language samples, in a study of the influence of early language and communication environment on their later syntactic language ability. Ss were divided into…
