Previous work showed that deaf children probably used visual codes for the short-term storage of verbal material. Such a visual code might lack the unidirectional character of a linguistic one. If so, reversed recall of visually presented material might be easier for subjects using visual images, and the deaf might therefore have an advantage in backward recall. Deaf and hearing children matched on forward letter span were tested for the backward recall of six item letter series, and the hypothesis was confirmed for order but not for item errors.

Chapter four focuses on Robinson’s five-letter series on German literature, in particular Goethe and Schiller, in the Monthly Register and Encyclopaedian Magazine (1802–03) that accompanied his transmissions of Kantianism to England, as well as his articles on Lessing in the Unitarian Monthly Repository of Theology and General Literature (1806). Read against the backdrop of Robinson’s explications of Kant and informal discussion of August Wilhelm Schlegel, all of these writings emerge as erudite, autonomous attempts at resolving the impasse between aesthetic autonomy and literature’s moral relevance detailed in the preceding chapter. These attempts are further characterized by an experimental oscillation between Kantian and post-Kantian approaches to art, and demonstrate that Robinson was increasingly regarding literary form as those universal parameters that may facilitate moral discourse across national, cultural, and historical gulfs. The letters on German literature, and afterwards the appreciation of the ‘free-thinking spirit and love of humanity’ (Diana Behler) in Lessing’s cosmopolitanism, hence enabled Robinson to establish in terms of practical criticism his ‘ethical turn’ away from notions of full aesthetic autonomy and towards his critical principle of ‘Free Moral Discourse’.

Letter Series

Scaled associative values, based on the responses of 162 subjects, are presented for single letters and ordered letter sequences of Separations 2, 4, and 6. Ratings were generally inversely related to series length, relatively stable, and subject specific. Individual letters were less important as sequence length increased. Subject's response bias had little effect on the final distribution.
