Abstract: | The MAPS test was given to matched groups of rubella deaf, non-rubella deaf, and hearing 15-year-old children. In comparison with the non-deaf, the rubella deaf scored fewer "normal" signs and more "schizophrenic" signs. "It is contended that the fantasy productions of the deaf, in general, are indicative of their social isolation and illogical unrealistic thinking."
