Status:	Ongoing
Start date:	October 2019
End Date:	December 2021

Description

In this research project we investigate how using a visual language might support and impact basic number and arithmetic processing abilities. We specifically investigate processing of non symbolic number quantities, symbolic Arabic digit comparison, symbolic ASL number comparison and single digit arithmetic problems in native, early exposed, American Sign Language users.
