Examined short-term encoding processes of deaf signers for different aspects of signs from American Sign Language. Exp I (13 college students) compared short-term memory for lists of formationally similar signs with memory for matched lists of random signs. Just as acoustic similarity of words interferes with short-term memory for word sequences, formational similarity of signs had a marked debilitating effect on the ordered recall of sequences of signs. Exp II (20 Ss) evaluated the effects of the semantic similarity of signs on short-term memory: Semantic similarity had no significant effect on short-term ordered recall of sequences of signs. Exp III (19 Ss) studied the role that the iconic (representational) value of signs played in short-term memory. Iconicity also had no reliable effect on short-term recall. These results provide support for the position that deaf signers code signs from American Sign Language at one level in terms of linguistically significant formational parameters. The semantic and iconic information signs, however, seems to have little effect on short-term memory.(28 ref)(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
