Instructed rehearsal strategies' influence on deaf memory processing.

J M Belmont, M A Karchmer, P A Pilkonis

    Journal of Speech and Hearing Research
    |March 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Congenitally deaf individuals show intact primary memory but have deficiencies in secondary memory compared to hearing individuals. Strategy instruction significantly improves short-term memory performance in both groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Short-term memory is crucial for cognitive function.
    • Understanding memory differences in deaf individuals informs educational and therapeutic strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare short-term retention accuracy and response latency between congenitally deaf and normal-hearing subjects.
    • To investigate the impact of instructed rehearsal strategies on memory performance in both groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Subjects recalled serial lists of consonant letters (6-7 items).
    • A position-probe test assessed recall accuracy.
    • Free and instructed rehearsal strategies were employed.
    • Response latencies were analyzed for primary and secondary memory components.

    Main Results:

    • Normal-hearing subjects generally outperformed deaf subjects in accuracy and speed.
    • Instructed rehearsal strategies led to performance gains for both groups.
    • Deaf subjects matched normal-hearing performance after strategy instruction.
    • Primary memory (terminal items) showed no difference; secondary memory (initial items) was slower in deaf subjects.

    Conclusions:

    • Congenital deafness does not impair primary short-term memory.
    • Secondary short-term memory processes are deficient in congenitally deaf individuals.
    • Rehearsal strategy instruction can effectively mitigate memory performance differences.
