Deafness is a "low incidence" disability and, therefore not studied
or understood in the same way as other disabilities. Historically,
research in deafness has been conducted by a small group of
individuals who communicated mainly with each other. That is not to
say that we did not sometimes publish in the mainstream or attempt
to communicate outside our small circle. Nonetheless, most research
appeared in deafness-related publications where it was not likely
to be seen or valued by psychologists. Those researchers did not
understand what they could leam from the study of deaf people or
how their knowledge of individual differ ences and abilites applied
to that population. In Deafness, Deprivation, ami /Q, Jeffrey
Braden pulls together two often unrelated fields: studies of
intelligence and deafness. The book includes the largest single
compilation of data describing deaf people's intelligence that
exists. Here is a careful, well-documented, and very thorough
analysis of virtually ali the research available. Those who have
studied human intelligence have long noted that deafness provides a
"natural experiment." This book makes evident two contrary results:
on the one hand, some research points to the impact deafness has on
intelligence; on the other hand, the research supports the fact
that deafness has very little, if any, impact on nonverbal measures
of intelligence."
