Comprehension of Signed English and American Sign Language Stories By Deaf Children
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis study compared the comprehension of two stories, one in American Sign Language (ASL) and one in Signed English (SE) by young deaf students. After viewing the stories on videotape, the students answered a series of comprehension questions. Results indicated that there was no significant difference between the overall comprehension scores of the two stories, although individual differences were noted. There was a significant relationship between the subjects' Signed English comprehension scores and their ages and reading levels. Further reserarch should investigate the contribution of the reception of features of each language to comprehension.
