  1. ASL Stories Test

  2. ASL Stories Test Structure • Similar to WMS “logical memory” subtest • Two stories conceived in ASL • Train story (~ 1’ 30”), 43 scoreable elements • Kidnap story (~ 2’ 07”), 63 scoreable elements • (WMS-R logical memory stories have 25)

  3. Video:Instructions and Stories1. Train Story 2. Kidnap Story

  4. Examples of Scoreable Elements • THREE-WEEK-AGO • WITH #DOG • 2 • “*(2H) SCL:V “jumping”*th”, PLAY • SIT-IN WHEELCHAIR • (2H) DCL:f “holes in eyes… • …and nose areas” • WITH NUMBER 4-5-3 (downwards) • PRINCIPAL (nod)

  5. Method • Same healthy participants as SPAT study • N = 41 • Mean age 27.6 (s.d., 4.7, range 18-34) • 54% male, 46% female • Mean PIQ 104 (s.d. 12.8, range 75-128) • Administered ASL Stories, SPAT, PIQ

  6. Method (cont.) • First story learning trail, immediate recall • Second story learning trial, immediate recall • ~20” delay period (non-verbal tasks) • Delayed recall (both stories) • Three-step cueing quiz, 20 elements (each) • Freely recalled, recalled w/ question, 3 choices • Recall videos scored by 3 ASL-fluent assists.

  7. Inter-Rater Reliability (ICC) • These are good intra-class correlation figures, suggesting reliable scoring results regardless of (sign-fluent) rater • Train story scoring was slightly more reliable probably due to fewer elements (43 vs. 63)

  8. ASL Stories Norms (averaged over three raters) Train story = 34 scoreable elements Kidnap story = 64 scoreable elements • Train vs. Kidnap immediate recall percentages significantly different (p = .0013) • Train vs. Kidnap delayed recall percentages significantly different (p = .0235) • Despite 20 fewer elements, Train story is significantly harder

  9. No Age Correlation • Age range was restricted, as in SPAT study (18 – 34)

  10. PIQ Correlation • Train story is harder • Restricted score range (no clinical sample) • PIQ consists of non-verbal tasks • WMS-3 verbal tasks correlate .39 with PIQ

  11. SPAT & ASL Stories Correlations

  12. Next Steps • Review, complete data analyses • Draft manuscript for publication • Prepare DVDs of stories and instructions

  13. Future Research Ideas • Why is Kidnap story easier? • Why were so many elements necessary? • Can it differentiate a clinical sample? • Correlation with non-verbal tests? • Correlation with “hearing” verbal tests? • How much ASL fluency is needed? • Alternate administration methods?
