Abstract

Important tasks performed in hypertext such as information retrieval or comprehension of texts are strongly related to memory process functioning, more exactly, to working memory and long term memory functioning. These two processes work in a peculiar way for deaf users. In this document, we discuss the validity of the existing web accessibility guidelines for people with deafness in contrast to our own empirical work in the web environment with these kinds of users, and according to literature reviews concerning memory process in the deaf and in hypertext interaction. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
