Phonological and Tactual Coding of Braille by Blind Children.

Pring, Linda

British Journal of Psychology, v73 n3 p351-59 Aug 1982

Conducted two experiments to investigate phonological and tactual coding in Braille reading by blind children. Results revealed a phonological effect in blind children's reading of single words. Also direct lexical access, from tactual input, proceeded with the same facility for the blind as does visual input for the sighted. (Author)
