Abstract
This article investigates the sequential recall of manual alphabet letters by signing deaf adolescents under two presentation conditions: fingerspelling and the listing and ordering technique (LOT) of American Sign Language. Fingerspelling presents each letter in a manner similar to the spelling of spoken words: A letter is produced and then is no longer available as the next letter in the sequence is produced. In addition, LOT allows for a letter to be presented on one hand and referenced to a finger on the other, nonmoving hand, providing a visuospatial anchor for the item. Recall of LOT- presented items proved superior to that of fingerspelled presentations.
