Tactile, motor and cognitive capacities decline with age, but little is known about how this relates to braille reading outcomes. This study investigated correlates of braille reading speed among working-age and older adults. Texts were read in two modes (oral/silent) and two media (paper/electronic braille display) by 46 blind adults (age range…

Wan, Catherine Y.; Wood, Amanda G.; Reutens, David C.; Wilson, Sarah J. – Neuropsychologia, 2010
Previous studies have shown that in comparison with the sighted, blind individuals display superior non-visual perceptual abilities and differ in brain organisation. In this study, we investigated the performance of blind and sighted participants on a vibrotactile discrimination task. Thirty-three blind participants were classified into one of…

Pagel, Birthe; Heed, Tobias; Roder, Brigitte – Developmental Science, 2009
Temporal order judgements (TOJ) for two tactile stimuli, one presented to the left and one to the right hand, are less precise when the hands are crossed over the midline than when the hands are uncrossed. This "crossed hand" effect has been considered as evidence for a remapping of tactile input into an external reference frame. Since late, but…

Hanninen, Kenneth A. – Education of the Visually Handicapped, 1976
A study involving 29 sighted and 22 blind children in grades 3-12 was conducted to determine whether there are grade, sex, and handedness group differences in texture preferences and whether such preferences effect discrimination accuracy. (SBH)

Gottesman, Milton – New Outlook for the Blind, 1976
Two studies using the concepts and research techniques of J. Piaget were conducted to compare cognitive processes in 45 blind children (2-to-12-years-old) and a random sample of sighted children. (SB)
