Research Abstract

1. WE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A TEST TO DIAGNOSE SYNTACTIC FUNCTIONS, WHICH AMED TO REVEAL DEVELOPMENTAL LEVELS OF THE VARIOUSE CNJUNCTION FUNCTIONS OF SENTENCE.
2. THE RESULTS OF ANALYSIS OF THE TEST, IT WAS FOUND THAT NORMAL 1ST GRADE CHILDREN OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ALREADY ACHIEVED THE TASK OF SENTENCE PRODUCT, AND 4TH FINALY COULD ACHIEVE THE TASK OF SENTENCE COMPREHENSION.
3. BUT THERE WERE NOT THE HEARING -IMPAIRED CHLDRE WHO COULD ACHIEVE THIS TEST AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND VARIOUS CONJUNCTIONS.THEY COULD NOT PRODUCT SENTENCES LOGICALLY AND MISTOOK A CONTEXT REMARKABLY.
4. THE RESULT OF LISTENNING-SPAN-TEST SHAWED THAT SEVERLY HEARING-IMPAIRED CHILDREN COULD NOT SUCCES, AND THE LEVEL OF WORKING MEMORY WAS IN THAT OF PRESCHOOLERS.
5. THE RESULT OF READING-SPAN-TEST SHAWED THAT SEVERLY HEARING-IMPAIRED CHILDREN COULD NOT SUCCESS IN THE TASK OF DIGIT MEMORY SPAN, BUT THERE WAS NOT A DIFFERENCE WITH NORMAL CHILDREN IN READING-SPAN-TEST(WORKING MEMORY)
6. AFTER ANALYZING THE CASE STUDY OF SEVERLY HEARING-IMPAIRED CHILD IN DETAIL, IT WAS SHAWED THAT DICTATION OF KANJI AND NUMERICAL CALCULATION CUOLD BE EASILY EXECCUTED.THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE LOGICAL RELATION OF THE SENTENCES OF JAPANESE AND THE ARITHMETIC COULD NOT BE SOLVED ESPECIALLY AND ABSTRUCT THINKING ALSO.
