Abstract
Support for the hypothesis that the early visual experience of adventitiously blind persons gives them a visual frame of reference after the onset of blindness is found in studies of tactual form discrimination and finger maze learning and in experiments involving “extended space.” The length of early visual experience is an important factor and is related to the progressive establishment of cross-modal correspondences in the early months of life.Keywords
