Auditory-tactile speech perception in congenitally blind and sighted adults.
The present study investigated whether manual tactile information from a speaker's face modulates the intelligibility of speech when audio-tactile perception is compared with audio-only perception. Since more elaborated auditory and tactile skills have been reported in the blind, two groups of congenitally blind and sighted adults were compared. Participants performed a forced-choice syllable d...
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 کاملProduction and perception of French vowels by congenitally blind adults and sighted adults.
The goal of this study is to investigate the production and perception of French vowels by blind and sighted speakers. 12 blind adults and 12 sighted adults served as subjects. The auditory-perceptual abilities of each subject were evaluated by discrimination tests (AXB). At the production level, ten repetitions of the ten French oral vowels were recorded. Formant values and fundamental frequen...
متن کاملCorrelates of contrastive focus in congenitally blind adults and sighted adults
PURPOSE The role of vision in speech representation was investigated in congenitally blind speakers and sighted speakers by studying the correlates of contrastive focus, a prosodic condition in which phonemic contrasts are enhanced. It has been reported that the lips (visible articulators) are less involved in implementing the rounding feature for blind speakers. If the weight of visible gestur...
متن کاملAllocentric Spatial Performance Higher in Early-Blind and Sighted Adults Than in Retinopathy-of-Prematurity Adults.
The question as to whether people totally blind since infancy process allocentric or external spatial information like the sighted has caused considerable debate within the literature. Due to the extreme rarity of the population, researchers have often included individuals with retinopathy of prematurity (RoP--over oxygenation at birth) within the sample. However, RoP is inextricably confounded...
