Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Evidence indicates that congenitally deaf individuals rely heavily on visual-spatial modalities and sign language, exhibiting enhanced visual-spatial working memory and cognitive processing rooted in visual adaptation.

The analysis

The claim is specific and empirical, dealing with cognitive processing in congenitally deaf individuals. Papers [0], [1], and [4] support the idea that sign language and visual-spatial structures form the basis of communication and cognitive processing in this population, while the remaining papers are either tangential or address unrelated sensory modalities.
