Remembering the names for visually and haptically examined braille symbols

Slater E. Newman

Anthony D. Hall

Sharon M. Pullen

Braille symbols were presented for haptic or visual examination on a single study trial (summer 1990) along with auditory presentation of their letter names. All subjects (students from North Carolina State University) were then tested haptically both immediately and forty-eight hours later. Forgetting occurred in both conditions. However, those who studied visually did better than those who studied haptically to about the same extent on both tests. These results provide additional support for the use of vision, when possible, in learning braille.
