The Auditory Skills Necessary for Echolocation: A New Explanation.

Carlson-Smith, C.; Wiener, W. R.

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v90 n1 p21-35 Jan-Feb 1996

This study employed an audiometric test battery with nine blindfolded undergraduate students to explore success factors in echolocation. Echolocation performance correlated significantly with several specific auditory measures. No relationship was found between high-frequency sensitivity and echolocation performance. (Author/PB)
