AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE ENCODING OF VERBAL INFORMATION FOR VISUAL TRANSMISSION TO THE HEARING IMPAIRED LEARNER
Abstract
The Babbidge Report (1), the Report of the National Conference on the Education of the Deaf (63) , and many similar documents all confirm what educators of the deaf have known for a long time, that the educational gap that separates the deaf from their hearing peers is a matter of grave concern. Though more severe, this educational deprivation is basically similar to that of other culturally deprived minority groups, and it needs to be systematically attacked with all the resources at our command. Although the educational systems for the deaf turn out a respectable number of academically qualified people, the average deaf school leaver at the secondary level is more than four years retarded as measured by standardized achievement tests (25). In our rapidly changing technological society, this educational retardation looms as a much more formidable barrier than it formerly was; and, as each year goes by, the hearing impaired are less and less able to compete successfully in the society in which they live.
