Imagery in the Congenitally Blind: How Visual Are Visual Images?

Zimler, Jerome; Keenan, Janice M.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, v9 n2 p269-82 Apr 1983

Three experiments compared congenitally blind and sighted adults and children on paired-associate, free-recall, and imaging tasks presumed to involve visual imagery in memory. In all three, blind subjects' performances were remarkably similar to the sighted. Results challenge previous explanations of performance such as Paivio's (1971). (Author/RD)
