Abstract

This chapter presents the data related to a visuospatial functioning for the VL2 Psychometric Toolkit Project. The data were generated from a measure of visuospatial memory, the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R), and a mental rotation task, for a sample of deaf college students evaluated as part of the VL2 Psychometric Toolkit. In addition to providing descriptive statistics, correlations with a brief measure of nonverbal intelligence and measures of executive, memory, and linguistic functioning, and academic achievement administered concurrently as part of the VL2 Toolkit are presented. The relationships observed are discussed in the context of both research in the general population and, when available, previous research with deaf individuals.
