Abstract This study investigates reading comprehension in adult deaf and hearing readers. Using correlational analysis and stepwise regression, we assess the contribution of English language variables (e.g., vocabulary comprehension, reading volume, and phonological awareness), cognitive variables (e.g., working memory (WM), nonverbal intelligence, and executive function), and language experience (e.g., language acquisition and orthographic experience) in predicting reading comprehension in deaf and hearing adult bilinguals (native American Sign Language (ASL) signers, non-native ASL signers, and Chinese–English bilinguals (CEB)), and monolingual (ML) controls. For all four groups, vocabulary knowledge was a strong contributor to reading comprehension. Monolingual English speakers and non-native deaf signers also showed contributions from WM and spoken language phonological awareness. In contrast, CEB showed contributions of lexical strategies in English reading comprehension. These cross-group comparisons demonstrate how the inclusion of multiple participant groups helps us to further refine our understanding of how language and sensory experiences influence reading comprehension.

Image Assessment

The Canadian Association of Radiologists Mammography Accreditation Program (CAR-MAP) has advocated for quality mammography since its inception in 1991. Evidence based standards have been employed to address image quality, education of personnel, radiologists experience and reading volume. This article reviews the objectives and components of the accreditation program. Education requirements for the technologist, physicist and radiologist are described. A guide to the evaluation criteria for the clinical images is provided. Positioning requirements and technical considerations are detailed to assist facilities and their personnel in improving and maintaining image quality and choosing appropriate images for submission for accreditation.
