Improving Flexible Thinking in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children with Virtual Reality Technology.

Passig, David; Eden, Sigal

American Annals of the Deaf, v145 n3 p286-91 Jul 2000

A study investigated whether rotating three-dimensional objects using virtual reality would affect flexible thinking in 14 children (ages 8-11) with hearing impairments. Children played virtual 3-D Tetris individually, 15 minutes once weekly over 3 months. Before-and-after testing showed significantly improved flexible thinking in the experimental group. (Author/CR)
