Effects of Tactile Training on Visual Speechreading: Performance Changes Related to Individual Differences in Cognitive Skills.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Andersson, Ulf; Lyxell, Bjorn; Ronnberg, Jerker; Spens, Karl-Erik – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2001
A follow-up study examined the effects of different tactile aids on tasks of visual speech reading in 14 adults with severe hearing impairments. Compared with speech reading alone, tactile aids impaired sentence-based speech reading at first, although performance improved with training. No effects of vibrotactile aids or training were obtained for…
