East of Learning the Braille and Fishburne Alphabets.
Newman, S. E.; Hall, A. D.
Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v82 n4 p148-49 Apr 1988
Seventy-two sighted college students who studied the braille or Fishburne alphabet for eight minutes were tested for recall. More Fishburne than braille items were recalled, independent of item arrangement. Results suggest that visually impaired persons might use the Fishburne system for labelling personal objects or when braille learning is too difficult. (Author/VW)
