[[alternative]]A Comparison Study on Memory Ability in Ordered Recall of Chinese Words of Hearing-Impaired Students and Hearing Students in Senior High School

[[abstract]]This study was try to understand different communication modes in manual and oral art of hearing-impaired and hearing-regulated students in senior high school. To realize the differences of above two kinds students, which use read articulatory and manual art to remind their memory; as well as to obtain the differences of phonetic coding, visual coding and manual coding, to point out the importance of ordered recall of Chinese words in the memory. Moreover, to know if there are phonological recoding or manual recoding process; the hearing-impaired students are lack of oral experiences, under this condition, how can they register and maintain a short visual ordered information in their memory. Subjects consisted of 84 prelingually and profoundly hearing-impaired students of senior high school, and 27 hearing students, adopted communication modes. to divide into 3 groups, namely manuals, orals and hearing students groups. The self-developed test lectures are: (1)"General Words List,"(2)"Manual Words List."The two words lists were separate into "phonetic similarity words;visual similarity words," and "manual similarity words;visual similarity words" to test.The data obtained were analyzed by of "average figure curve," "three-way analysis of variance " and "two-way analysis of variance " to observe and compare. The main finding of this study were as follows: 1.In the reading articulatory test process,hearing group has been disturbed by the "phonetic similarity " and "visual similarity", used the phonetic and visual information delivery, happened phonetic recoding effects. 2.In the reading articulatroy test process, manual and oral groups have not been disturbed by "phonetic similarity" and "visual similarity" effects. 3.In the reading articulatroy test process, hearing group has better remember ability than manual and oral groups in the "visual similarity with phonetic difference" and "difference in phonetic and visual", because of the phonetic coding effects probably. 4.In the manual test process, manual group has not disturbed by manual similarity effects. 5.In the manual test process, manual group nave disturbed by "visual similarity". It is speculated manual test process which effects the visual coding increasingly. 6.In the manual test process of the manual group, the serial recency effects speculated from visual coding not from phonetic or manual coding probably. Further discussion were made on the basis of present research findings and some suggestions on future studies were proposed.
