Adaptation and Normalization of a Verbal Episodic Memory Test in French Sign Language
This study is building and standardizing a memory test in French Sign Language, based on a 16-word recall test used in memory assessment. Researchers will gather norms from deaf adults with no cognitive problems. It involves a questionnaire and exam, not a drug. There is no phase, because it tests an assessment tool, not a treatment.
