    Adult-onset deaf individuals demonstrated enhanced short-term memory recall for visually presented words compared to hearing individuals. Visual skills, not speechreading ability, best explain these memory differences.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Neuroscience
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Memory recall is influenced by various sensory modalities.
    • Previous models struggle to explain memory performance in deaf populations.
    • Visual skills may play a significant role in memory function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare short-term memory recall between deaf and hearing adults.
    • To investigate the role of visual skills and speechreading in memory performance.
    • To evaluate existing memory models against observed data.

    Main Methods:

    • Visually presented word lists were used for memory recall tasks.
    • Participants included 12 deaf adults (adult-onset hearing loss) and 12 normally hearing adults.
    • Speechreading skills were assessed using various tests.

    Main Results:

    • Deaf adults showed superior recall for recency items (short-term memory).
    • Existing memory models could not account for both recall and output order data.
    • Visual skills demonstrated greater explanatory power for memory performance than speechreading ability.

    Conclusions:

    • Adult-onset deafness is associated with enhanced visual short-term memory.
    • Visual skills are crucial for memory performance, potentially more so than speechreading.
    • Further research is needed to refine memory models for diverse populations.
