在一项短期记忆实验中，研究人员向母语为美国手语的聋哑人大学生展示了三到七项长度的美国手语符号。对听力正常的大学生进行了一项类似的单词短期记忆实验（代表英语翻译的单词，相当于这些符号）。召回是书面的、立即的和命令的。总的来说，聋人的短期记忆机制似乎与听力正常的人相似，即使是模态变化。聋人对符号的多重入侵错误是基于符号本身的构象属性，这与听力正常的实验中基于音系的错误相似。我们的结果与一个理论是一致的，即美国手语的符号实际上是由聋人根据同时形成的参数来编码的，比如手的形状、发音的位置和运动。有证据表明，聋人认为手语是由独立的参数组成的——这是美国手语所特有的——这些参数在意义上基本上是任意的。
In a short-term memory experiment, signs of American Sign Language in list lengths of three to seven items were presented to deaf college students whose native language is American Sign Language. A comparable short-term memory experiment for words (words representing the English translation-equivalents of the signs) was presented to hearing college students. Recall was written, immediate and ordered. Overall, short-term memory mechanisms in the deaf seem to parallel those found in hearing subjects, even with the modality change. A significant number of multiple intrusion errors made by deaf subjects to signs were based on formational properties of the signs themselves, a result paralleling the phonologically based errors in experiments with hearing subjects.Our results are consistent with a theory that the signs of American Sign Language are actually coded by the deaf in terms of simultaneous formational parameters such as Hand Configuration, Place of Articulation and Movement. Evidence is given that signs are treated by the deaf as consisting of independent parameters — specific to American Sign Language — which are essentially arbitrary in terms of meaning.
