Movement Kinematics of the Braille-Reading Finger
Hughes, Barry
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v105 n6 p370-381 Jun 2011
A new means of measuring the movement properties of the braille-reading finger is described and exemplified in an experiment in which experienced readers of braille encountered sentences comprised of keywords in which word and orthographic frequencies were manipulated. These new data are considered in theoretical and practical terms. (Contains 2 tables and 4 figures.)
