New article out in Brain and Language! In this study, we used event-related potentials to investigate how deaf adults process fingerspelled words. Results showed cross-language and cross-modal priming from fingerspelled words to printed English words, highlighting the role of fingerspelling in developing word representations for skilled reading.
