Counting in Sign Language.

Leybaert, Jacqueline; Van Cutsem, Marie-Noelle

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v81 n4 p482-501 Apr 2002

Studied accuracy and use of sequence number string in hearing 3- to 5-year-olds and in deaf 4- to 6-year-olds using the Belgian French Sign Language. Found that deaf children exhibited age-related lags in knowledge of the number sequence, and made different errors from those of hearing children, reflecting the rule-bound nature of sign language.
