Part of a doctoral dissertation completed at the Louisiana State University. Summary presented at National Convention of American Speech and Hearing Association (44th, Denver, 1968). (Author)

In two related experiments on recognition--on touch and audition--accuracy rates were obtained from 14 congenitally blind adults and compared with those for normally sighted Ss. (Author/SBH)

The extent to which a developmental program of tactile perception and braille letter recognition would affect errors in these abilities and reduce scrubbing and backtracking behaviors of 30 legally blind braille users (5-15 years old) was studied. (Author/BD)

A remotely activated tactual communication aid is described, and results obtained from tests with the aid on five normal hearing young adults and five profoundly hearing impaired children (8 to 14 years old) are reported. (SBH)

The effect of auditory interference on the processing of haptic information by 61 visually impaired students (8 to 20 years old) was the focus of the research described in this article. It was assumed that as the auditory interference approximated the verbalized activity of the haptic task, accuracy of recall would decline. (Author)

A study involving 60 blind children (in grades k-2) was conducted to validate the hypothesized order of a series of tactual discrimination tasks and to determine the grade level(s) at which most "normal blind" children successfully perform simple tactual discrimination tasks presented on the Optacon.

Presented is a rationale for using vibrotactile stimulation (vibration applied to oral structures) as a diagnostic instrument to assess oral-sensory deficits which may contribute to defective speech patterns. (Author/LS)
