A Comparison of the Word Recognition Processes of Blind and Sighted Children.

Pring, Linda

Child Development, v55 n5 p1865-77 Oct 1984

Two word/nonword decision experiments were carried out to investigate differences in reading between congenitally blind children reading Braille and sighted children dealing with print. Three aspects of single-word recognition were studied: semantic processing, word frequency effects, and phonological recoding. (Author/RH)
