Nominal Realism in Congenitally Blind Children.

Anderson, D. W.; Fisher, K. P.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v80 n8 p896-900 Oct 1986

The study of 10 congenitally blind and 10 sighted children (ages 3 through 9) indicated that preoperational thought patterns of nominal realism remain longer for blind than for sighted children indicating a delay in (Piagetian) cognitive development of congenitally blind children and their need for appropriate cognitive and linguistic experiences.
