Judgement of Dot Numerosity in Braille Symbols by Blind and Sighted Adults.

Newman, Slater E.; And Others

International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v10 n2 p229-31 1987

The study examined the ability to estimate the number of dots in Braille symbols by 21 legally blind and 21 sighted adults. Results indicated that this task was difficult for both blind and sighted subjects with little improvement over trials. Errors of underestimation exceeded errors of overestimation. (DB)
