Features of diagnostics of deaf senior pupils’ symbolization

Abstract

Concepts-symbols carry out a different function in comparison with other concepts, since they are universal indicators which focus the cognizing subject on the importance of this concept for a certain group as well as for himself/herself. The interiorization of the concept-symbol presupposes the process of “decrystallization” of the personal sense; such a concept is its potential bearer. Formation of concepts-symbols among deaf young men and girls has the specifics, since their process of interiorization of the sign and symbolical component of language is transformed into force. It is necessary to develop a special technique for revealing distinctive features of formation of concepts-symbols among the deaf. This article deals with the features of diagnostics of symbolization among the deaf.
