Luini, Eugene; Ryder, James – 1967
A peripatologist taught 102 blind and partially sighted individuals of all ages mobility and orientation techniques.

Strawbridge, Leigh A.; And Others – Education and Training in Mental Retardation, 1989
The article describes a training program which effectively taught a profoundly retarded and blind nine-year-old boy to use a walker. One year follow-up indicated maintenance of treatment gains. Ambulation training was correlated with a significant reduction in stereotypic behavior. (Author/DB)

Spatial Representation by Persons Who Are Blind: A Study of the Effects of Learning and Development.
Peer reviewedOchaita, E.; Huertas, J. A. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1993
Children and adolescents (n=40) with congenital or adventitious blindness were exposed to two unfamiliar environments. Evaluation of subjects' spatial representations (through construction of models and estimates of distance) found that age appeared to be more important than learning in their development of spatial representation skills.

Descriptors: Blindness, Children, Exceptional Child Research, Multiple Disabilities
Peer reviewedHuertas, J. A.; Ochaita, E. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1992
Forty blind children and adolescents had to learn two unknown environments and then externalize the spatial representation via two methods--building a scale model and verbally estimating distances. High correlations were found between the two methods and between those methods and two systems of measuring mobility. (Author/JDD)

Tisdall, William J.; And Others – 1967
Objectives of this study on the influence of visual deprivation upon the divergent thinking dimension of intelligence were to compare the divergent thinking abilities of blind and sighted children in residential and day school programs, and to determine the relationship between divergent thinking and age of onset of blindness, mobility, school…
