Haptic Mental Rotation: More Consistent in Blind Subjects?

Hollins, M.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v80 n9 p950-52 Nov 1986

The study examined whether spontaneous variations in the frame of reference occurring over time have a more substantial effect on haptic mental rotation abilities of four blindfolded sighted subjects than of four adventitiously blind subjects. Results indicated the mental rotation functions for the two groups were virtually identical. (Author/DB)
