Fig. 4: Experiment 2 considers the effect of different methods of cultural transmission of the sign language (V, VH, VO, VG, VHO, VHG, VOG, and VHOG) and the probability that a hearing agent acquires the sign language (h), when no deaf–deaf marriages occur (m = no_dd).
From: The effect of cultural transmission on shared sign language persistence
For each of these transmission methods, a shows the proportion of signers over 50 generations with varying values of hearing agents acquiring the sign language when possible (h). The dark line represents the median at each time step and the shaded area represents the first and third quartiles. b shows the proportion of signers at generation 50 with varying values of hearing agents acquiring the sign language when possible (h). The dots represent the median at generation 50 and the line represents the first and third quartiles. Note that the colored dots at generation 50 in a correspond to the colored dots in b.
