中、美耳聋儿童的视知觉和记忆

THE VIDUAL PERCEPTION AND MEMORY IN DEAF CHILDREN FROM CHINA AND THE UNITED STATES

在本研究中,中美两国8—14岁的耳聋儿童先临摹雷—奥复杂图形(ROCF),然后凭记忆再绘出来。x^2检验和H 检验表明,被试的年龄是影响测验结果的最重要的变量。通过对中、美两国儿童得分的比较分析,一般说来,在较小的年龄阶段,美国儿童显示出较复杂的信息处理能力,而中国儿童绘图往往更精确。这些差异可能是由教育和早期语言训练造成的。

In a study of the development of visualperception,deaf children from china andAmerica,ranging in age from 8 to 14,copiedthe Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure and laterreproduced it from memory.Chi Square andKruskal-Wallis H analysis revealed the ageof the subjects to be the most significantvariable affecting this measure of cognitivedevelopment.In a comparative analysis,theAmerican children's scores were generallyindicative of more sophisticated processingat earlier ages,while the Chinese children'sdrawings tended to be more accurate.Dif-ferences may be attributable to educationalpractices and early language training.
