Anticipatory action planning in blind and sighted individuals
Several studies on visually guided reach-to-grasp movements have documented that how objects are grasped differs depending on the actions one intends to perform subsequently. However, no previous study has examined whether this differential grasping may also occur without visual input. In this study, we used motion capture technology to investigate the influence of visual feedback and prior vis...
متن کاملBlind and Sighted Individuals
sapopulation ages, elderly people increasingly fall and injure themselves. Such falls make them hesitant to move actively and thus severely decrease their independence and quality of life. Preventing falls is therefore critical in maintaining the wellness of elderly people. In physiotherapy, a tracking task for an ankle-joint exercise can be used to facilitate motor learning of the ankle. For s...
متن کاملDifferentiated audio-tactile correspondences in sighted and blind individuals.
The aim of the present study is to investigate whether the crossmodal correspondence robustly documented between auditory pitch and visual elevation has analogues in the audio-tactile domain. Across 4 experiments, the compatibility effects between intuitively congruent pairs of stimuli (i.e., outward tactile movement, going from the inside of the finger toward the fingertip and increasing pitch...
متن کاملDiscrimination of enhanced echoes in blind and sighted individuals
Echolocation, while a useful skill for visually impaired people, is difficult to learn because humans naturally suppress environmental echoes. However, if the echoes are enhanced compared to environmentally normal echoes, they may therefore help to ease echolocation learners into the learning process. Blind and sighted participants discriminated enhanced echoes in two 2-interval forced choice (...
متن کاملCrossmodal Processing of Haptic Inputs in Sighted and Blind Individuals
In a previous behavioral study, it was shown that early blind individuals were superior to sighted ones in discriminating two-dimensional (2D) tactile angle stimuli. The present study was designed to assess the neural substrate associated with a haptic 2D angle discrimination task in both sighted and blind individuals. Subjects performed tactile angle size discriminations in order to investigat...
