简介:目的探讨小学聋生概念组织的特点及其发展情况。方法采用词汇自由回忆的实验任务,对小学一、三、五年级30名聋生的概念组织特点进行了研究。结果①一年级聋生概念组织以SF联系和主题关联为主,较少形成分类学关系;三年级聋生3类概念组织形式都有所发展,但其概念组织结构与一年级聋生相似;五年级的聋生以分类学关系组织概念的能力已经获得很好发展,成为概念组织的主要形式,SF联系和主题关联也是其概念组织的重要形式。②聋生概念组织结构中,分类学关系和主题关联两种概念组织类型表现为随年级的增高而发展;SF联系呈先上升后下降的趋势;聋生概念组织的发展落后于健听儿童,但其发展趋势与健听儿童相似。结论不同年级聋生概念组织结构具有不同的特点,聋生概念组织结构随年级的增高而发展变化。
