| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to investigate the visual information processing strategies of inherently profound hearing-impaired children who have a higher reading ability than other hearing-impaired children by measuring their eye movements in reading visual materials. Next, their cognitive production, as like comprehension on visual materials was compared to that production with the same age of normal hearing. Takei Scientific Instrument (Free View Type Talk Eye □) were used to measure eye-movements which included processing time, number of fixation, fixation time, regression movements, cognitive span and the rate of comprehension in visual materials.
In 2004 research, word problem was utilized as research material to measure reference strategy. The results indicated that hearing-impaired children with higher reading ability used more reference visual material, more frequent fixation and regression, and shorter referring time and span than normal hearing children..

ding strategy of two visually imagery information were utilized. The result indicated that hearing-impaired children frequently used a visual coding processing strategy with higher number of fixations, a shorter fixation time, and they also utilize semantic categorize in coding as like that of children with normal hearing.
In 2006, the research examined the relationship between the degree of fixation location and the development of story situation of hearing ability in reading comprehension of hearing-impaired children. As a result, children with hearing impairment had more fixations in development and conclusion and this tendency increase in higher grade. Moreover, children with hearing impaired children who have the same reading ability were long fixation time in specific scene in story.
These findings revealed that hearing-impaired children with higher reading ability have same developmental tendency but they have some different using and strategies to processing visual imagery information. Less
