Mémoire phonologique et visuospatiale chez les enfants sourds: Des nouvelles du front

Fundamental questions about the short term memory (STM) in deaf children are still debated. This article addresses the question of the cognitive model of STM in sign language (SL), and the assumptions about differences between spans in SL and spoken language (SL). It also discusses recent theoretical advances on STM in the normal hearing population that could be extrapolated for understanding of STM in SL. Finally, concrete paths for professionals are proposed.SCOPUS: ar.j
