Perceptions of Tactile and Visual Iconicity by Blind and Sighted Groups.

Griffith, Penny L.; Robinson, Jacques H.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v78 n10 p481-87 Dec 1984

Signs from lists used with mentally retarded and autistic children and previously rated for visual iconicity were presented tactilely to 13 blind adults. Visual and tactile ratings were very similar across blind and sighted groups, as were statements of relationship between signs and their meanings. (Author/CL)
