Social and Nonsocial Decentration in Hearing-Impaired and Normal Hearing Children.

Cates, David S.; Shontz, Franklin C.

Journal of Childhood Communication Disorders, v13 n2 p167-80 1990

This study found that 23 hearing-impaired and 25 normally hearing children (ages 7-14) did not differ on nonverbal intelligence, but the hearing-impaired children obtained lower scores than normally hearing peers on a social decentration task and a nonsocial decentration task. Social decentration was positively correlated with nonsocial decentration. (Author/JDD)
