Abstract
Tests of accuracy of visual recognition of briefly exposed letters, trigrams, and 4-letter words were administered to 40 deaf children and 40 hearing children ranging in age from 8 to 16. All subjects were given the Ammons Full-Range Picture Vocabulary Test. The young hearing children were significantly more accurate in letter trigram and word recognition than young deaf children, but older deaf children did not differ significantly from older hearing children. However, the Ammons reading scores of both young and older deaf children were significantly smaller than those of hearing peers.Keywords
