{"pk":28311,"title":"Sign language experience affects comprehension and attention to gesture","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Different language experiences could shape how one looks for information in communication, particularly gesture. In awithin-subjects design, deaf signing (n = 12) and hearing participants (n = 30) watched narratives in four conditions: Ges-ture+Speech without Sound, Gesture+Speech with Sound, No Gesture+Speech without Sound, and No Gesture+Speechwith Sound. Subjects did a forced choice task, choosing between two cartoon vignettes that best matched the narrative.There were Easy and Hard trials.Across conditions, speakers spent less time looking to the Face than signers (=-0.17,p¡0.001), but looked more to Gesturethan signers (=0.18,p¡0.001). For comprehension, we focused on our analyses on the G+S without Sound where wepredicted the two groups would differ. For Hard trials signers performed marginally better than speakers (p =.09). Futurework will explore how these different attention patterns emerge in development.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Abstracts-Posters","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6dh304fp","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jenny","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lu","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Chicago","department":""},{"first_name":"Nicole","middle_name":"","last_name":"Burke","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Chicago","department":""},{"first_name":"Susan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Goldin-Meadow","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Chicago","department":""},{"first_name":"Amanda","middle_name":"","last_name":"Woodward","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Chicago","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28311/galley/17988/download/"}]}
