Peer reviewedSkaggs, S. O.; And Others – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 1994
This study compared the batting swing of two skilled congenitally blind beep baseball players to a perfect kinetic-link model for the batting skill. It found that the subjects used a modified batting technique and that there was an inverse relationship between the subjects' performances and the kinetic-link model. (Author)

Peer reviewedBrown, Josephine V.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Investigates developmental changes in the accuracy of aimed movements made to an illuminated target lamp by children between the ages of 1.5 and 8 years. Shows accuracy decreased with decreasing availability of visual information and improved with age under all conditions. (HOD)
