| Popis: | Investigation of the mode of speech development in a female child with severely impaired hearing ability was made from 7 months to 6 years old. She was trained on a systematic training program with a hearing aid. A special emphasis is stressed on the development of interrogative sentences in this child. It is generally said that infants begin thinking by themselves and acquire the ability of abstract thinking by asking questions. For infants it is important to ask questions for the development of both speech and mentality. The development of her thinking was analyzed and her development of interrogative sentences was compared with that of normal children. The results were as follows:1) At the age of 6 years the total of her vocabulary was 2, 231 words and her verbal I.Q, was rated as normal.2) At the age of 6 years she has learnt only 150 interrogative sentences. It is only 13% of a corresponding value for normal children (reported by Ohkubo) .3) From these findings mentioned above, it is reveald that she had poorer power of active thinking than normal children. Hence, it is emphasized that a new training program should be designed from a view point of stimulation of the development of interrogative sentences. |
