Phelps, LeAdelle; Ensor, Allan
Psychology in the Schools, v24 n3 p209-14 Jul 1987
Administered the Performance Scale of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) to 60 female and 65 male hearing-impaired subjects. Found a significant sex difference on the Coding subtest, with females outperforming males. Deaf females possessed significantly better visual-motor coordination and speed, while males demonstrated better spatial analysis and synthesis skills. (Author/KS)
