CAPOVILLA, Fernando César et al. When the deaf name drawings: cheremic, semantic and orthographic processes. Perspectiva [online]. 2006, vol.24, n.03, pp.153-175. ISSN 0102-5473.

Picture-Print Matching Test (PPMT) evaluates the ability of naming pictures by choosing from among written words, as well as the cheremic, semantic and orthographic processes involved. PPMT was administered to 320 1st-9th grade deaf students from São Paulo semibilingual schools, along with several tests such as a receptive sign language vocabulary test (RSLVT) and a reading competence test (RCT). Corroborating the hypothesis that cheremic lexicon links orthographic lexicon to pictorial lexicon, significantly high cheremic paralexias revealed that, when matching print to pictures, deaf students first retrieve signs to label pictures, and then use those signs to retrieve the corresponding print. Suggesting the validity of paralexia-inducing prompts in PPMT, results showed a negative significant correlation between orthographic paralexias in PPMT and reading competence in RCT, as well as between cheremic paralexias in PPMT and vocabulary proficiency in RSLVT.
