In this paper, we compare responses of deaf signers and hearing non-signers engaged in a categorization task of signs and non-linguistic human actions. We examine the time it takes to make such categorizations under conditions of 180 degrees stimulus inversion and as a function of repetition priming, in an effort to understand whether the…

Found that deaf children conveyed central elements of motion events in their communications. Deaf American and Chinese children used gestures to express motion in…
