- Summary:
-
The investigation sought to prove that retarded conceptualization behavior of deaf children can be improved by specific compensatory experiences in the manipulation of objects. Twenty-six deaf children of normal intelligence but deficient in language as determined by reading achievement level, ages 10-13 years, were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Experimental treatment consisted of participation in 30 30-minute sessions of science inquiry, structured toward the development of classification skills and based on physical manipulation of objects to discover relationships. Pre and posttesting with the Goldstein-Sheerer Object Sorting Test measured categorization level. The experimental subjects demonstrated a significant change in the level of categorization used, indicating that sensory experience, rather than language attainment, was the critical factor in the development of categorization.
