The use of different materials with varied textures improves
the recognition of tactile images by young blind people, researchers from the
Laboratoire de psychologie et neurocognition (LPNC) (CNRS/Université Pierre
Mendès France/ Savoie University) have shown. This result, which was recently
published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology Applied was achieved in
collaboration with Geneva University's Faculté de psychologie et des sciences
de l'éducation and Les Doigts Qui Rêvent (Dreaming Fingers) in Talant
(Côte-d'Or, France).
