| This article brings forth the report of a developmental cross- sectional comparative study on concept formation, in two groups of deaf and hearing children. Either group consisted of 60 children (30 boys, 30 girls) in age-groups of 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15; one of the groups consisting of deaf students from the special schools of Tabriz, and the other consisting of hearing students. Vygotsky test of Kazanin- Halfman was administered in both groups. The results analyzed statistically, were indicative of the lower ability of deaf children in concept formation, which might be attributed to their hearing impairment and verbal deficit. Meanwhile; the results showed that, age has a fundamental effect on concept formation. Besides; there was no significant difference between the sexes in either group |
