Big project I am undertaking. My teacher is excited. She thinks it will be interesting.

My bad. PTSD is a very different thing. Yes, it is a big project. Let me refer you to a book written by Marc Marschark and his colleagues entitled "Psychology of Deafness" He has reported the findings of many well respected studies, many of which took cognitive testing techniques and applied them to the deaf population. There are studies on differences in short term/long term memory, the way in which a deaf person employs the phonological loop of memory, differences in error types when processing, etc. I think you will find this book very helpful in answering your questions and guiding your research.
