Abstract
This study of the cognitive processes of braille reading compared the reading of 23 adult braille readers in four different reading conditions: oral reading, silent reading, studying, and scanning. The findings provide support for the idea that braille reading is process driven and that reading rates vary, depending on the purpose of the reading task.Keywords
