Tactual Environmental Interpretation: A Multisensory Approach.
Nichols, D. R.
Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v84 n3 p124-25 Mar 1990
Natural history facts and concepts were presented to 160 multiaged individuals through tactual and/or visual interpretive stations along a nature trail. Individuals were tested to indicate knowledge retention after the trail experience. Visual, tactual, and visual/tactual approaches proved to be equally effective treatments in most cases.
