Eighty sighted male Ss participated in a study to determine the effect of the size of the braille cell on the rate of learning the names for braille symbols of letters of the alphabet (A-J and K-T). Study size (standard or large braille), test size (standard or large braille) and item set (A-J or K-T) were manipulated in a study-test procedure (each of five study trials followed by a test trial). Results revealed that performance was facilitated by large braille symbols during test and study trials, particularly if symbol discrimination is difficult. Faster learning of the A-J than the K-T sets was evidenced. (CL)
