Description
Summary:Evidence seems to exist that the ability to speechread correlates with visual-spatial perceptual processing abilities. Using the Utley Speech Reading Test and the Revised Minnesota Paper Form Board Test results showed a significant correlation between the RMPFB Test and the ability to speechread words. Since the use of a static visual image correlated with the ability to speechread words, the ability to read connected speech may correlate to a kinetic visual-perceptual stimulus. Individual differences in visual-perceptual processing abilities may be a significant factor in explaining the ease or difficulty experienced by the hearing impaired to learn speechreading.
