Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v103 n10 p649-661 Oct 2009
Using a subset of data from the Alphabetic Braille and Contracted Braille Study, researchers analyzed the patterns and characteristics of hand movements as predictors of reading performance. Statistically significant differences were found between one- and two-handed readers and between patterns of hand movements and reading rates. (Contains 6 figures and 2 tables.)
