Bach-Y-Rita, Paul; Hughes, Barry – 1985
The paper reviews the effects of absence of vision on perceptual functioning and considers ways in which a modified Optacon (which translates images into tactile presentations) can help visually impaired persons acquire critical cognitive and perceptual knowledge. Background research with the Tactile Vision Substitution System, a system for…

Waigandt, Alex; And Others – 1982
In this report, vision screenings conducted by large metropolitan area schools are reviewed. Data were generated by 10 participating schools in five school districts who responded to five research questions: (1) Do you do vision screening? (2) What do you test for? (3) Who conducts the vision screening in your school? (4) What grade levels are…

Chastain, Garvin; And Others – 1982
Levels of independent variable(s) are often mixed within each block of trials rather than each level being presented in a separate block in research of various types. Two experiments involving tasks of a visual nature were conducted to demonstrate that such mixing can easily obscure the effects of principal interest. A target circle was projected…

Tucker, John D. – 1979
The report considers ways of using television for instruction of blind, partially sighted, deaf, and hard of hearing children (5 to 16 years old). The introductory section reviews characteristics associated with the four types of handicapping conditions. The use of videorecorders, captioned programs, and closed circuit television is considered.…

The system described represents a new technique for enhancing the fidelity of flight simulators during high acceleration maneuvers. This technique forces the simulator pilot into active participation and energy expenditure similar to the aircraft pilot undergoing actual accelerations. The Bionic Control of Acceleration Induced Dimming (BIOCONAID)…

Crouch, C. L.; Kaufman, J. E. – Illuminating Engineering, 1963
The role of reflected glare and visual viewing angles in near task performance is discussed, and following statements are reported--(1) a worker at a desk normally assumes a position in which his eyes traverse an area of work extending from a point approximately vertically below his eyes to a point not more than 40 degrees from the vertical, (2) a…

Peer reviewedSchubert, Delwyn G.; Walton, Howard N. – The Reading Teacher, 1968
The relationship of astigmatism to reading and the possible detrimental effects it might have on reading were investigated. The greatest incidence of astigmatism was for the with-the-rule type ranging from .50 to 1.00 diopter. This type of astigmatism was induced in 35 seniors from the Los Angeles College of Optometry by placing cylindrical lenses…

Culp, Rex E.; Gallas, Howard B. – 1975
This paper reports a study which investigated 2-month-old infants' auditory discrimination of tone quality in the male voice, extending a previous study which found that voice quality changes (soft versus harsh) in a female voice were discriminable by infants at this age. Subjects were 20 infants, tested at 8 and 9 weeks of age. Each infant was…

Huelsman, Charles B., Jr. – 1969
An attempt to evaluate the effects of individualized vision training in a group of grade-4 children who were both disabled in reading and diagnosed as having inadequate vision skills is reported. The effects evaluated include both changes in vision and the relationship of vision training to change in reading achievement. Experimental cases…
