Abstract
Fifteen profoundly deaf subjects' responses on the Phoneme Identification Test Series were studied via HI CLUS and KYST multidimensional analysis techniques in order to determine whether meaningful perceptual dimensions were utilized by subjects in spite of very low scores for exact phoneme identification. Results suggested that this group of subjects tended to categorize their responses along a single feature for auditory perception. In a second experiment, deaf subjects' speechread responses to the Phoneme Identification Test were analyzed via HYCLUS. Results were like that of previous studies with normal or mildly hearing impaired, but an interesting visual dimension was discovered which allowed discrimination between the back consonants (k) and (g) for some S's.
