    Deaf children use covert counting strategies for integer addition, similar to hearing children, challenging assumptions about subvocalization. This suggests cognitive processes in math may not rely on spoken language skills.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Special Education

    Background:

    • Hearing children often use covert counting strategies, assumed to be subvocal, for solving integer addition problems.
    • Deaf children's limited spoken language abilities led to the hypothesis that they would use alternative memory-based strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the arithmetic strategies employed by profoundly deaf children compared to hearing children.
    • To determine if deaf children utilize covert counting or rely on long-term memory recall for integer addition.

    Main Methods:

    • Ten profoundly deaf children and 10 age- and arithmetic-matched hearing controls participated.
    • Participants classified integer addition problems as correct or incorrect.
    • Response times were analyzed to infer cognitive strategies used.

    Main Results:

    • Deaf children's performance on integer addition classification was consistent with the same covert counting model as hearing children.
    • No significant differences were observed between groups in response to correct sums involving ties or incorrect sums.
    • These findings suggest deaf children do not rely more on associative retrieval than hearing children.

    Conclusions:

    • Covert counting processes in integer addition may not involve subvocalization for either deaf or hearing children.
    • The results challenge the assumption that spoken language is essential for certain mathematical cognitive strategies.
    • Implications for educational approaches for deaf children are discussed, emphasizing potential cognitive similarities in mathematical processing.
