Two groups of severely and profoundly deaf students aged 10 to 17 years were tested on their abilities to choose, from a set of four pictures, the one matching a sentence presented on videotape under 11 different communication conditions. The communication conditions involved individual and combined presentations of lipreading, listening, fingerspelling, and signed English. Severely deaf students scored higher than profoundly deaf students under all conditions except those that involved signed English, where the profoundly deaf group scored as high as the severely deaf group. All the students scored higher under conditions that involved audition, including lipreading plus audition, than under audition alone. The discussion of the results highlights methodological problems that made it difficult to interpret some previous studies in this area. Practical implications of the results for both oral education of the deaf and simultaneous communication are also discussed.
两组年龄在10至17岁的重度和极重度失聪学生接受了测试,测试内容是在11种不同的交流条件下,从四张图片中选出与录像中呈现的句子相匹配的那一张。交流条件包括唇读、听力、手指拼写和手语英语的单独呈现及组合呈现。除了涉及手语英语的条件外,在所有条件下,重度失聪学生的得分都高于极重度失聪学生,在涉及手语英语的条件下,极重度失聪组的得分与重度失聪组一样高。所有学生在涉及听觉的条件下,包括唇读加听觉,得分都高于仅靠听觉的情况。对结果的讨论突出了一些方法学问题,这些问题使得难以解释该领域以前的一些研究。还讨论了研究结果对聋人口语教育和同时交流的实际影响。
