Spatial Orientation and Congenital Blindness: A Neuropsychological Approach.
Stuart, I.
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v89 n2 p129-41 Mar-Apr 1995
Tests of a neuropsychological model for spatial orientation in the absence of vision were developed and administered to 31 children with congenital blindness. Results support the neuropsychological model and indicate that some congenitally blind subjects had focal brain damage, sufficient to impair their capacity to be accurately oriented in physical space.
