英国手语（BSL）的初学者和匹配的迹象天真的主题进行了识别测试，可能的和“不可能的”BSL的迹象（实验1）。三个列表类型进行了调查：一个列表的学习者已知的标志;一个类似的列表不知道的学习者;和一个列表的“非标志”使用“非法”BSL形成参数。初学者在所有列表上都上级非学习者。在一个不同的人群中的标志幼稚的主题（实验2），人们谁试图命名的演示文稿中的标志显着优于非命名者。在所有组和条件下，“法律的”标志的识别性能明显优于“非法”标志。在实验2中，虽然命名在预测识别分数时与象似性没有相互作用，但在呈现时需要命名的情况下，象似性也与命名的容易性相关。我们得出的结论是，手势学习者在这项任务中的优势可能反映了处理能力的普遍提高潜在有意义的手势（其具有结构连贯性的感知特性，反映在高象似性分数中），并且呈现上的命名可以是这种改进的一个方面。这可能是一个过渡阶段，在收购的迹象作为第二语言。
Novice learners of British Sign Language (BSL) and matched sign-naive subjects were given a recognition test for possible and 'impossible' BSL signs (Experiment 1). Three list types were investigated: a list of signs known to the learners; a similar list not known to the learners; and a list of 'non-signs' formed using 'illegal' BSL formational parameters. Novice-learners were superior to non-leamers on all lists. In a different population of sign-naive subjects (Experiment 2), people who tried to name the signs on presentations were significantly better than non-namers. Recognition performance was significantly better for 'legal' than 'illegal' signs in all groups and conditions.Overall, it was rated iconicity, not knowledge of sign, that determined recognition accuracy. iconicity also correlated with ease of naming where naming was required at presentation, although naming did not interact with iconicity in predicting recognition scores in Experiment 2.We conclude that the superiority of sign-leamers in this task may reflect a general improvement in the ability to process potentially meaningful gestures (which have the perceptual property of configural coherence, reflected in high iconicity scores) and that naming on presentation can be one aspect of such improvement. This may be a transitory stage in the acquisition of sign as a second language.
