Provenance/Source of Acquisition Gift of Susan Curtiss, 2006. Processing Note The materials in this collection had been in the possession of Dr. David Rigler, a lead investigator in the Genie studies, since 1975. He stored the materials in his office and/or residence following the conclusion of the research in the mid to late Seventies. The collection was boxed and shipped to Dr. Susan Curtiss, UCLA Department of Linguistics, in 2005. Manuscripts Division staff completed a box-level inventory at that time. The papers were dehumidified with silica gel beads, and treated for potential insect infestation with sticky traps and boric acid bait. In early 2006, Timothy Holland created a preliminary inventory of the audio-visual materials, and Elizabeth Sheehan began processing the papers under the supervision of Laurel McPhee. Materials were placed into folders, described, and arranged into series and subseries levels to enhance access to the collection and to create a finding aid.

Biography/History "Genie" is the pseudonym of a 13 year old girl who, on November 4, 1970, was admitted to Childrens Hospital Los Angeles as a victim of extreme isolation and deprivation by her immediate family. She was discovered after a Department of Social Services case worker took note of Genie when her mother, who was losing her eyesight, visited Social Services seeking assistance for the blind. Subsequent medical and psychological tests at Childrens Hospital noted that Genie had language and motor skills far below her age level. 800 2 In 1971, Childrens Hospital staff members intimately involved in Genie's case applied to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) for grant funding to study Genie's case history and developmental progress during rehabilitation efforts. A grant was approved and from 1971 to 1975 Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles (CHLA) administered the study entitled "Developmental Consequence of Extreme Social Isolation," under the direction of Dr. David Rigler. During the course of the study, members of the research team included other CHLA staff, UCLA Department of Linguistics researchers (including Dr. Susan Curtiss and Dr. Victoria Fromkin), and a variety of external consultants. In August 1971, it was determined that for Genie's benefit she should be removed from the hospital environment and be placed in a foster home. Because of her unique and severe case, placement was difficult and it was eventually determined that she would reside with David and Marilyn Rigler. The Riglers, in addition to being research team members, were Genie's foster parents from 1971 to 1975. This unusual situation would be a factor in a lawsuit later filed by Genie's mother. In 1975, NIMH declined to renew the grant and the study came to a close. Genie's placement with the Riglers also came to an end. Now 18 years old and legally an adult, she was released to the care of her mother, who was unable to cope with Genie's special needs. Genie was then placed in a foster home, which proved to be especially detrimental to her progress and psychological well-being. As a result, she was readmitted to Childrens Hospital in 1977 for two weeks. Upon her release, Genie was placed in another foster home. In 1979, Genie's mother filed a lawsuit (C 276 459) against Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and David Rigler, Howard Hansen, James Kent, Vrinda Knapp, and Susan Curtiss, individually. In the suit, she alleged that CHLA and the various defendants violated the physician-patient, psycho-therapist relationship of Genie and herself when confidential information was revealed publicly. The suit was settled in 1984 and the acrimony of the lawsuit temporarily severed the relationship between the researchers and Genie's mother, resulting in several years of non-communication with her and Genie. However, in 1992 Dr. David Rigler and Genie's mother reestablished communication, and the Riglers, subsequently, visited with Genie. Although not indicated in the collection files, according to Russ Rymer, author of the book Genie: A Scientific Tragedy, by the early 1990s Genie was living in an adult home for the mentally retarded, where it is believed she remains in 2006. Scope and Content Collection documents the psycholinguistic study of Genie (pseudonym), a young girl discovered at the age of 13 to have been kept for many years in conditions of extreme isolation and deprivation by her family. The materials in this collection primarily document a National Institute of Mental Health study grant (MH 21191) entitled "Developmental Consequence of Extreme Social Isolation," which was administered by Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles under the primary direction of Dr. David Rigler. In addition to the formal study material, the collection also documents the foster care of Genie by David and Marilyn Rigler from 1971 to 1975, and a California lawsuit (case number C 276459) brought by Genie's mother against Childrens Hospital and individuals affiliated with the study. The collection consists of a variety of material including reports and papers authored by those associated with the study, study notes, correspondence, diagnostic and pedagogical material, medical records, Genie's art work, funding paperwork, guardianship material, legal material, photographs, and an abundance of audio-visual material.

Discourse development 7. Acquisition in other contexts 8. Conclusions 9. Literature Abstract This chapter provides a selective overview of the literature on sign language acquisition by children. It focuses primarily on phonological, lexical, morphological, and syntactic development, with a brief discussion of discourse development, and draws on research conducted on a number of natural sign languages. The impact of iconicity on sign lan- guage acquisition is also addressed. The chapter ends with brief discussion of acquisition in other, less typically researched contexts, including late L1 acquisition, bilingual sign- speech acquisition, and adult acquisition of sign as a second language. 1. Introduction This chapter is an overview of the acquisition of phonological, lexical, morphological, syntactic and discourse properties of sign languages. Only a few decades ago, the task of reading everything written about sign language acquisition was still reasonably man- ageable. Today, with the establishment of new sign research programs all around the globe, the list of published articles on sign acquisition (not to mention unpublished theses and dissertations) has far outstripped the abilities of even the most assiduous reader. This chapter does not attempt to summarize them all. Rather it aims to lay out the major directions in which sign language research has progressed over the last few decades, sketching a general outline of what we know so far about this fascinating aspect of human development. A major theme of early sign acquisition research was to draw parallels between L1 acquisition of natural sign languages by native-signing deaf children and more tradi- tional L1 acquisition of spoken languages by hearing children.

  • Enhanced Imagery Abilities in Deaf and Hearing ASL Signers*

Kosslynb and Ursula Bellugi” “Laboratory for Cognitive Neuroscience, The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA bDepartment of Psychology and Social Relations, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA Received April 22, 1991, final version accepted September 7, 1992 Abstract Emmorey, K., Kosslyn, S.M., and Bellugi, U., 1993. Visual imagery and visual-spatial language: Enhanced imagery abilities in deaf and hearing ASL signers. Cognition, 46: 139-181. The ability to generate visual mental images, to maintain them, and to rotate them was studied in deaf signers of American Sign Language (ASL), hearing signers who have deaf parents, and hearing non-signers. These abilities are hypothesized to be integral to the production and comprehension of ASL. Results indicate that both deaf and hearing ASL signers have an enhanced ability to generate relatively complex images and to detect mirror image reversals. In contrast, there were no group differences in ability to maintain information in images for brief periods or to imagine objects rotating. Signers’ enhanced visual imagery abilities may be tied to specific linguistic requirements of ASL (referent visualization, topological classifiers, perspective shift, and reversals during sign perception).

  • Syntactic Preservation in Alzheimer's Disease
    Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, Volume 30, 343-350, September 1987 SYNTACTIC PRESERVATION IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE DANIEL KEMPLER SUSANCURTISS CATHERINE JACKSON University of California at Los Angeles Language ability of 20 patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) was evaluated. Analysis of spontaneous speech revealed a normal range and frequency of syntactic constructions but poor lexical use. A writing task showed a similar divergence, with the ability to use syntactic cues significantly more intact than the ability to use semantic cues. The results are taken to indicate that syntactic ability is selectively preserved in AD. These findings are consistent with a modular theory of grammar and of mental functions more generally. A tentative explanation of these phenomena is proposed in which the overlearned and automatic nature of syntactic ability helps account for its resilience to cognitive dissolution and cortical degeneration. Recent research on adult language breakdown has transcortieal sensory and Wernicke's type aphasias were addressed the issue of the potential independence of frequent, while Broea's and transeortical motor aphasia syntactic processes from semantic functions primarily by were absent.
