Abstract
Administered a series of unordered recall tasks to 24 congenitally deaf Ss (aged 19–33 yrs) for whom American Sign Language (ASL) is the principal means of communication. A suffix effect was observed when an ASL sign was suffixed to a list of ASL signs, and when a line drawing of an ASL sign was suffixed to a list of line drawings of ASL signs. The suffix effect was diminished when a printed English word was suffixed to a list of printed words. Findings of 3 experiments argue conclusively against the suffix effect resulting solely from sensory store differences, and against explanation of the effect as arising solely from differences in the processing of "static" vs "changing-state" input.
