Study title

The project "Attentive Glimpse as Retrieval Associate: Components of Objects' Shape Property-Shape Cue and Recognition Proficiency, 2012" is designed to address the issue of which components of objects' shape property-shape cue produce most proficient shape, thus object recognition in (1) vision, and (2) touch. Indeed; which components of objects' shape property-shape cue are familiar when changing over from vision to touch? The project contains six experiments divided into visual and tactual sub-experiments. This project aims to obtain added knowledge on how rehabilitation programmes for newly blinded individuals are tailored to every one individual. In addition to added knowledge on how several precursors aimed at pre-cuing may supplement each other, how components of objects' shape property-shape cue are kept familiar to newly blinded individuals, and on how precursors aimed at pre-cuing and aids for the visually impaired may supplement each other. The project may contribute to enhancing the interest for and research within the field of rehabilitation, and bring about developing of material utilised in precursors aimed at pre-cuing, thereby rehabilitation programmes for newly blinded individuals.
