    Profoundly hearing-impaired individuals utilize a distinct meaning-abstraction strategy, unlike the normal-hearing. This compensatory cognitive function was confirmed, with implications for speech-reading and auditory training programs.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Audiology
    • Linguistics

    Background:

    • Compensatory cognitive functions in the hearing-impaired are not fully understood.
    • The role of linguistic abstraction in cognitive processing for individuals with hearing loss requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate whether profoundly hearing-impaired individuals employ a general meaning-abstraction strategy.
    • To test the hypothesis that this strategy is not necessary for normal-hearing individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized Bransford & Franks' (1971) linguistic abstraction paradigm.
    • Compared 20 profoundly hearing-impaired subjects with 20 normal-hearing subjects.

    Main Results:

    • Results unequivocally supported the hypothesis.

  • Profoundly hearing-impaired subjects demonstrated a general meaning-abstraction strategy.

    • Conclusions:

    • The findings indicate a unique compensatory cognitive function in the profoundly hearing-impaired.
    • Results have clinical implications for speech-reading assessments and auditory training programs.
