MONTEIRO, Janine Kieling  y  ANDRADE, Clarissa Galecki. Evaluation of abstract thinking, spatial thinking and numerical thinking in deaf adolescents. Aletheia [online]. 2005, n.21, pp. 93-99. ISSN 1413-0394.

This paper reports on psychological evaluation of deaf adolescents. The participants were students in a special school for deaf. Abstract reasoning, spatial reasoning and numerical reasoning were evaluated using BPR-5 (Reasoning Battery of Tests), elaborated by Primi and Almeida (2000). Furthermore, a questionnaire on demographic data and life history were used. Deaf adolescents presented better spatial reasoning than abstract or numerical reasoning, suggesting that that deaf people have visualization abilities more developed than the other abilities evaluated. Results indicated the need of validation and development of new instruments for psychological evaluation of this population.

Palabras clave : Psychological evaluation; Deaf; Reasoning.
