Abstract
Memory distortions in deaf people were tested using the DRM paradigm. Words were presented visually, in sign language or both. Dual coding resulted in the most accurate memory for studied words. The rate of false memories was the lowest in the group memorizing written words, which supports primary language hypothesis.
