Models of Sensory Deprivation: The Nature/nurture Dichotomy and Spatial Representation in the Blind.

Millar, Susanna

International Journal of Behavioral Development, v11 n1 p69-87 Mar 1988

Examines the fallacies about the nature of abilities and learning and about the interaction between sense modalities which follow from the dichotomy in relation to explanations of spatial development in the blind. Suggests that interactions between cognitive and perceptual factors need to be considered to explain more adequately effects of sensory deprivation. (RWB)
