Capirci, O; Cattani, A; Rossini, P; Volterra, V (Spring 1998). "Teaching
Sign Language to Hearing Children as a Possible Factor in Cognitive
Enhancement," Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education (Oxford University
Press), 3(2):135-142.

The article compares two matched groups of elementary school children in
Italy. One group is taught Sign Language, the other is not. Those who were
taught Sign showed enhanced cognitive abilities without the same level of
drop after vacations.
