多项研究报告了聋哑学生的数学成绩不佳，但这种现象的发生，范围和原因仍然研究不足。早期语言剥夺可能是影响数字习得的因素之一。在这项研究中，我们调查了一个基本的和基本的数学技能，自动幅度处理，在两种格式（阿拉伯数字和美国手语数字符号）和第一语言接触的年龄对这两种格式的影响，通过使用两个版本的数字Stroop测试。我们比较了先天失聪者经历早期语言剥夺的表现，先天失聪者在早期生活中经历手语和听力第二语言学习者的表现。在这两种格式的幅度表示，晚第一语言学习者表现出整体较慢的反应时间。他们在不一致的试验中也不太准确，但在其他试验中与早期签名者和第二语言学习者没有什么不同。当幅度由阿拉伯数字表示时，晚期第一语言学习者表现出强大的数字Stroop效应，这表明自动幅度处理，但他们也表现出在其他组中未观察到的大小和数字判断之间的速度差异。在ASL数字符号的任务中，数字Stroop效应在任何组中都没有发现，这表明数量表征可能是格式特异性的，与其他几种语言的结果一致。晚期第一语言学习者对中性刺激而不是不一致刺激的反应时间也表现出不寻常的模式。总之，结果表明，早期语言剥夺影响了自动判断语言和阿拉伯数字表达的数量的能力，但当语言可用时，它可以在以后的生活中获得。与之前发现聋人和听力正常者之间数字处理速度差异的研究相反，我们发现，当语言在生命早期获得时，聋人签名者的表现与听力正常者相同。
Multiple studies have reported mathematics underachievement for students who are deaf, but the onset, scope, and causes of this phenomenon remain understudied. Early language deprivation might be one factor influencing the acquisition of numbers. In this study, we investigated a basic and fundamental mathematical skill, automatic magnitude processing, in two formats (Arabic digits and American Sign Language number signs) and the influence of age of first language exposure on both formats by using two versions of the Number Stroop Test. We compared the performance of individuals born deaf who experienced early language deprivation to that of individuals born deaf who experienced sign language in early life and hearing second language learners of ASL. In both formats of magnitude representation, late first language learners demonstrated overall slower reaction times. They were also less accurate on incongruent trials but performed no differently from early signers and second language learners on other trials. When magnitude was represented by Arabic digits, late first language learners exhibited robust Number Stroop Effects, suggesting automatic magnitude processing, but they also demonstrated a large speed difference between size and number judgments not observed in the other groups. In a task with ASL number signs, the Number Stroop Effect was not found in any group, suggesting that magnitude representation might be format-specific, in line with the results from several other languages. Late first language learners also demonstrate unusual patterns of slower reaction time for neutral rather than incongruent stimuli. Together, the results show that early language deprivation affects the ability to automatically judge quantities expressed both linguistically and by Arabic digits, but that it can be acquired later in life when language is available. Contrary to previous studies that find differences in speed of number processing between deaf and hearing participants, we find that when language is acquired early in life, deaf signers perform identically to hearing participants.
