Judgement of Dot Numerosity in Haptically Examined Braille Symbols by Blind and Sighted Adults: Effects of Item Size.
Newman, Slater E.; And Others
International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v13 n3 p251-53 Sep 1990
This study evaluated performance of blind (n=17) and sighted adults on a haptic numerosity task of braille symbols in which symbol size was varied. Although blind subjects performed better than seeing subjects, the rate of learning and patterns of errors were similar, except that blind subjects did better with standard than with enlarged symbols.
