Spatial updating in blind and sighted people
1988
Perception & Psychophysics
Preserved Fulltext
Four experiments were carried out to determine the accuracy with which early-blind and blindfolded sighted subjects could indicate the remembered positions of objects. ...
Both groups of subjects demonstrated good updating ability when the method of responding was to replace objects in their original positions; when required to point to objects, however, blind subjects made ...
For example, data that seem to indicate a relative slowness of mental rotation in blind people (Marmor & Zaback, 1976) may instead reflect only a greater stability of their haptic frame of reference ...

In haptic control conditions of that earlier experiment, subjects felt squares with their right hands, and chose comparison squares with their left hands. ...
One reviewer questioned the appropriateness of the sighted comparison group, since they were much younger than the congenitally blind subjects. ...

There were 132 participants with varying degrees of visual ability ranging from congenitally blind to normally sighted. ...
It has been proposed that haptic spatial perception depends on one's visual abilities. We tested spatial perception in the workspace using a combination of haptic matching and line drawing tasks. ...

In Experiment 1, the illusion was relatively weak in sighted subjects and depended on stimulus size and the nature of the figure, that is, whether the pattern was an inverted-T or L shape. ...
These results support the idea that visual experience may alter haptic judgments in sighted and late blind subjects. ...
Thus, any illusory effects were a joint effect of haptics and a history of vision in the late blind and sighted subjects. ...

Experiment 1 documents, across a broad range of stimulus weights and volumes, the existence of a purely haptic size-weight illusion, equal in strength to the traditional illusion. ...
In contrast, visual volume cues are merely sufficient, and produce a relatively weaker effect. ...

If visual experience participated in the haptic oblique effect, we should observe no oblique effect in early blind subjects in the conditions of manual exploration where late blind and blindfolded sighted ...
The haptic perception of vertical, horizontal, +45 0 oblique, and + 135 0 oblique orientations was studied in completely blind adults. ...
Therefore, the comparison of the haptic oblique effect in early blind, late blind, and blindfolded sighted people should allow an evaluation of the role of visual experience in its manifestation. ...

Thus, it is proposed that graphical data could be made more easily accessible to blind users by scaling the data values to friction rather than shape or size, as in traditional bar charts. ...
Research has shown that the PHANToM is effective at displaying graphical information to blind people, but the techniques used so far have been very simple. ...
However, visualisations such as these rely on the distributed nature of the visual sense to identify trends in the data through perception and comparison of shape and size. ...

Similar resting fMRI correlation fingerprints in individual blind and sighted participants suggest a role for long-range connectivity in the specification of the cortical locus of face-selectivity. ...
Here we show robust face-selectivity in the lateral fusiform gyrus of congenitally blind participants during haptic exploration of 3D-printed stimuli, indicating that neither visual experience, nor fovea-biased ...
Note that the absolute magnitude of the fMRI signal was lower for the haptic condition in sighted participants relative to the visual condition, but the selectivity of the response was similar in the two ...

This is especially true for the blind and visually impaired, for which haptic estimation of distances is paramount but not systematically trained. ...
The estimation of relative distance is a perceptual task used extensively in everyday life. This important skill suffers from biases that may be more pronounced when estimation is based on haptics. ...
