Comparing Semantic Fluency in American Sign Language and English
(Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2018)
This study investigated the impact of language modality and age of acquisition on semantic fluency in American Sign Language (ASL) and English. Experiment 1 compared semantic fluency performance (e.g., name as many animals ...
The relation between working memory and language comprehension in signers and speakers
(Acta Psychologica, 2017)
This study investigated the relation between linguistic and spatial working memory (WM) resources and
language comprehension for signed compared to spoken language. Sign languages are both linguistic and visualspatial,
and ...
Evidence for a bimodal bilingual disadvantage in letter fluency
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2017)
Many bimodal bilinguals are immersed in a spoken language-dominant environment from an early age and, unlike unimodal
bilinguals, do not necessarily divide their language use between languages. Nonetheless, early ASL–English ...
Basque-Spanish bilingual children’s expressive and receptive grammatical abilities
(Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism, 2019)
Expressive-receptive gaps in lexical abilities have been documented for bilingual children, but few studies have investigated whether a similar gap is observed at the grammatical level. The current study assessed grammatical ...
Semantic Integration and Age of Acquisition Effects in Code-Blend Comprehension
(Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2016)
Semantic and lexical decision tasks were used to investigate the mechanisms underlying code-blend facilitation:
the finding that hearing bimodal bilinguals comprehend signs in American Sign Language (ASL) and spoken ...
Insights from bimodal bilingualism: Reply to commentaries
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2016)
The commentaries on our Keynote article “Psycholinguistic, cognitive, and neural implications of bimodal bilingualism” were enthusiastic about what can be learned by studying bilinguals who acquire two languages that are ...
Predictors of Word and Text Reading Fluency of Deaf Children in Bilingual Deaf Education Programmes
(MDPI, 2022)
Reading continues to be a challenging task for most deaf children. Bimodal bilingual
education creates a supportive environment that stimulates deaf children’s learning through the use
of sign language. However, it is ...
Cross-language activation in bimodal bilinguals: Do mouthings affect the co-activation of speech during sign recognition?
(CAMBRIDGE, 2022)
The present study provides insight into cross-language activation in hearing bimodal bilinguals by (1) examining co-activation of spoken words during processing of signs by hearing bimodal bilingual users of Dutch (their ...
Why space is not one-dimensional: Location may be categorical and imagistic
(Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017)
In our commentary, we raise concerns with the idea that
location should be considered a gestural component of sign languages.
We argue that psycholinguistic studies provide evidence for location as a
“categorical” element ...
