Visual Reading and Cross-Modal Transfer of Learning in Congenitally Blind Humans with Residual Light Projection.
Hunstad, Egil
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v29 n1 p17-41 Mar 1985
Visualized braille was presented on closed circuit television (CCTV) to six blind tactile braille reading subjects (ages 12-50). Results supported cross-modal transfer of learning from tactile to visual modality. After intensive visual training, these subjects could discriminate visual forms and read ordinary print using the CCTV. (Author/BS)
