Age at Onset of Blindness and Development of Space Concepts: From Topological to Projective Space.

Birns, Shayne L.

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v80 n2 p577-82 Feb 1986

One-third of the Ss exhibited atypical spatial development, g mastering relative positions of left and right before mirror-image orientation. (Author/CL)
