Abstract
Reviews the literature on hand and finger usage in reading braille. Describes an experiment using 25 blind students to test whether they read faster and/or more accurately with: the left index finger rather than the right one; the left middle finger rather than the right one; the index finger rather than the middle finger; and, with spontaneous hand usage (usually both hands), whether the student read faster and/or more accurately than with the index finger of one hand.Keywords
