Heller, Morton A.; McCarthy, Melissa; Clark, Ashley – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2005
This article reviews recent research on perception of tangible pictures in sighted and blind people. Haptic picture naming accuracy is dependent upon familiarity and access to semantic memory, just as in visual recognition. Performance is high when haptic picture recognition tasks do not depend upon semantic memory. Viewpoint matters for the ease…
