Caroline Turke produced the slides and placed them on SlideShare.

Dr. Susan Mather, a Gallaudet researcher postulates that an overriding factor for the lower performance in mainstream classes is Visual Split-Attention. With the only one visual receptive channel, deaf consumers have to continually switch and split their visual attention among the speaker, interpreter and slides.

Jackie Borda explains why being aware of split-attention is important…

“By eliminating the need to mentally integrate multiple sources of information, extraneous working memory load is reduced, freeing resources for learning. Any adjustment takes time, energy, cognitive load and coordination.”
