This study from the few studies that have focused on the knowledge of cognitive characteristics of university students deaf and hard of hearing, male and female. Where they addressed the researcher analyzed the performance of these students to measure working memory components functions (phonological loop , visuo–spatial sketch pad , executive control) through the comparison between males and females to see if there were statistically significant between the two groups in the performance differences extent of the capacity of the functions of memory words and the extent of memory numbers to measure the audio component capacity, and performance on the track the spatial paths to measure visual spatial component, The study was conducted on a sample of (30 students) were male (17 students), and females (13 students). The study addresses the problem of differences in performance on the working memory tasks between the male and female deaf and hard of hearing. This study attempts to shed light on this category, which has not received enough attention in the Arab Studies; there is a lack of information about cognitive characteristics of students of deaf and hard of hearing. It is trying to figure out the reasons for the low level of achievement the deaf and hearing impaired, and through knowledge of the level of their performance to measure the components of working memory tasks. The results showed that deaf and hard of students hearing males were the most accurate in the performance on the audio component measuring tasks (the digital memory span tasks, and words memory span tasks) and they were also the most accurate in the performance measurement functions of visuo- spatial component (visual tracking tracks tasks), and most helm in performance Created at the operational control functions (eyes span comprehension tasks). While the students’ female showed its superiority in performance on executive control functions (Effect phenomenon Stroop tasks). And it came all the results of the performance is a function of the speed of the comparison between the two groups. (Published abstract)
