Just popping in to say hi.

My name is Darla I'm from Michigan but originally from Ohio. Married almost 25 years and mom of twin boys who will be 22 in a few months.

Im currently 48 and have been hard of hearing all my life but have never learned ASL. Now thanks to the internet and increased ASL information and tutorials available online I just started to learn.

I've always wanted to learn but never did as life got the in the way or I felt insecure (never liked to try new things or something out of the norm as afraid someone would make fun of me - which stems from being made fun of by other kids when growing up). But I just figure there is always a reason we never know of and it just feels that now is the right time. So I'm learning 👍🏻

I found this forum and am hoping that when I have questions someone can help me out.

Right now I know some words and can finger spell. It's slow but it's progress after only 4 days. My current question bugging me is if in the middle of signing I realize I goofed up used incorrect sign what do I do to basically say I made that in error or I goofed up? In speech you just correct yourself, on TTY or relay you type *** so what do I do when signing?

Thanks..

- ASL Research: Signing Participants Needed for Online Study
  
  By annaboyer · Posted Monday at 04:05 PM
  
  Hi everyone! I am a graduate student at the University of California, Davis. I'm desperately looking for individuals who use ASL--especially interpreters--for a pilot study for my dissertation. If you have a spare moment, I would like to invite you to take this completely online research survey. Your contribution to this research will help neuroscientists learn more about how sign language is processed in the brain for those who use both a spoken and signed language. This research has been approved by the UC Davis IRB board. Below is some more information, and the link to the study: --- Study of Sign Language Processing: What is the purpose of this study? By evaluating participant responses to this short, online experiment, we can get a better understanding of the neural mechanisms that are used to support sign language processing in the brain. Who can participate? We encourage anyone (even hearing parents or individuals who use ASL consistently) from anywhere in the US to participate. Eligible participants meet the following criteria: · Between 18-50 years of age. · Normal cognitive function. · Consistent use of American Sign Language. · Have normal or corrected-to-normal vision. · High school competency (9th grade) in reading English What does participation look like? This experiment is an approximately 20-minute online study, which should be taken on a laptop or computer. You will be presented with a consent form, a short background questionnaire, and then a decision task. You will see videos of a deaf person signing, then you will press a key on the keyboard in response. Here is the link to the study: https://research.sc/participant/login/dynamic/DFB825B2-1571-4380-9CBD-D666D51DAAB9 Additional Project Information: This study was approved by the University of California, Davis IRB (an ethics board) [2402245-1] Your information will be kept confidential and in a secure database. If you have any questions, please contact Anna Boyer at [email protected] or 330-357-1277.
