Solving Word Problems: More than Reading Issues for Deaf Students.

Kelly, Ronald R.; Mousley, Keith

American Annals of the Deaf, v146 n3 p251-62 Jul 2001

Thirty-three college students with deafness and 10 typical students were given 30 mathematics problems to solve, 15 that were word problems. As the complexity of the descriptive information in the word problems increased along with the complexity of the problem situations, the performance of students with deafness decreased.
