New paper out in the Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education

Dr. Qi Cheng recently published a paper entitled ‘Resolving syntactic-semantic conflicts: comprehension and processing patterns by deaf Chinese readers’ with her co-authors Karen Xu Yan (former UW CLMS student, currently at UCLA), Lujia Yang (former lab volunteer, currently at U Alberta), and Dr. Hao Lin (Shanghai International Studies University) in the Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education (JDSDE). This paper combined comprehension judgments and self-paced reading to examine the processing mechanisms of hearing and deaf readers and found that deaf readers endure more processing burden while resolving conflicting syntactic and semantic cues, regardless of their comprehension strategies.
