However, working memory for faces as an aspect of face processing has not yet been\n examined in congenital deafness. <jats:bold>Purpose<\/jats:bold>\u2003To explore working memory for faces among individuals with congenital deafness who are skilled in sign language. <jats:bold>Research Design<\/jats:bold>\u2003A quasi-experimental study of individuals with congenital deafness and a control group.\n <jats:bold>Study Sample<\/jats:bold>\u2003Sixteen individuals with congenital deafness who are skilled in sign language and 18 participants with intact hearing, matched for age, and education. <jats:bold>Intervention<\/jats:bold>\u2003The participants performed two conditions of the N-back test in ascending difficulty\n (i.e., 1-back and 2-back). <jats:bold>Data Collection and Analysis<\/jats:bold>\u2003Levene's and Shapiro\u2010Wilk tests were used to assess group homoscedasticity and normality, respectively. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance was applied to compare the groups in response time and accuracy\n of the N-back test, as well as Pearson correlation between response time and accuracy, and sign language skill duration. <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\u2003The congenital deafness group performed better than controls, as was found in the response time but not in the accuracy variables. However, an interaction\n effect showed that this pattern was significant for the 1-back but not for the 2-back condition in the response time but not the accuracy. Further, there was a marginal effect in response time but a significant one in accuracy showing the 2-back was performed worse than the 1-back. No significant\n correlation was found between response time and accuracy, and sign language skill duration. <jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>\u2003Face processing advantage associated with congenital deafness is dependent on cognitive load, but sign language duration does not affect this trend. In addition, response\n time and accuracy are not equally sensitive to performance differences in the N-back test.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1754369","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,30]],"date-time":"2022-11-30T02:32:16Z","timestamp":1669775536000},"page":"342-348","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Working
