| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined cognitive and information processing functions that support verbal and academic abilities, as well as factors affecting academic ability in individuals with hearing impairment by administering the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition (KABC-II), an instrument administered individually to assess cognitive processing and academic abilities, on university students with and without hearing impairment. Results suggested that hearing impairment might be a disability-characteristic factor that affects the individual’s performance on “sequential processing” and verbal “short-term memory.” Furthermore, students with hearing impairment demonstrated weaker performances in abstract inference and logical thinking that may be due to their accumulated experience of studying utilizing memory strategies where they visualize or storyline language and life experiences since their childhood. However, they demonstrated similar basic verbal abilities as hearing students.
