Abstract
Previous research has shown that recall performance of blind Ss is affected by auditory, but not visual word imagery, whereas the reverse is true for sighted Ss. The present study explored the possibility of a parallel effect with deaf Ss. Both deaf and hearing Ss learned lists of paired associates that were either high visual and low auditory imagery words or vice versa. It was predicted that deaf Ss would perform similar to hearing Ss with pairs of high visual imagery, but worse with materials of high auditory imagery. The results failed to demonstrate the expected interaction. Instead, performance was uniformly superior for the visual materials, and there was no significant difference between deaf and hearing Ss. Possible reasons for this outcome are discussed.
