ASL PLDs

These recordings show point light displays of real and false American Sign Language content. Three types of content are present: fingerspelling of real and false city names; real and pseudo-signs, and ASL sentences which are either plausible or nonsensical. All stimuli are presented in four conditions: High/low fidelity of markers on the hands AND/OR high/low number of markers on the face. These stimuli were recorded with the Motion Light Lab in the VL2 Center at Gallaudet University under the direction of Dr. Lorna Quandt.

Biological Motion PLDs

These recordings show point light displays of athletic human movements. Six movements are included, and each is recorded from three different perspectives. For all 18 videos, there is a scrambled version which can serve as a control. These stimuli were recorded with the Motion Light Lab in the VL2 Center at Gallaudet University under the direction of Dr. Lorna Quandt.
