使用“浓度”游戏测量了 11 名失聪和听力正常的英国手语使用者以及 11 名听力正常的非手语者对图像擦除和可言语物体的记忆。三组对于物体的表现水平相同。相比之下，失聪手语者的面孔比听力正常的手语者更好，而听力正常的手语者又优于听力正常的手语者，而后者的表现最差。提出了三个假设： 三组之间的尝试次数没有显着差异。 在可言语对象任务中，听力正常和聋哑手语者在匹配面孔任务中将表现出比听力正常的非手语者优越的表现，并且听力正常和聋哑手语者在匹配面孔任务中将表现出相似的表现水平。前两个假设得到了支持，但第三个假设没有得到支持。研究发现，失聪手语者在面部记忆方面优于听力正常的手语者和听力正常的非手语者。讨论了对这些发现的可能解释，包括耳聋和长期使用手语产生累加效应的可能性。
The memory of 11 deaf and II hearing British Sign Language users and 11 hearing nonsigners for pictures effaces of and verbalizable objects was measured using the game Concentration. The three groups performed at the same level for the objects. In contrast the deaf signers were better for faces than the hearing signers, who in turn were superior to the hearing nonsigners, who were the worst. Three hypotheses were made: That there would be no significant difference in terms of the number of attempts between the three groups On the verbalizable object task, that the hearing and deaf signers would demonstrate superior performance to that of the hearing nonsigners on the matching faces task and that the hearing and deaf signers would exhibit similar performance levels on the matching faces task. The first two hypotheses were supported, but the third was not. Deaf signers were found to be superior for memory for faces to hearing signers and hearing nonsigners. Possible explanations for the findings are discussed, including the possibility that deafness and the long use of sign language have additive effects.
