Developmental aspects of sensory substitution.

S Aitken, T G Bower

    The International Journal of Neuroscience
    |May 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Congenitally blind infants and young children used the Sonicguide device, an artificial intersensory substitute. Younger children demonstrated quicker spatial information processing, highlighting developmental differences in sensory substitution.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Sensory Neuroscience
    • Assistive Technology

    Background:

    • Congenital blindness presents challenges in spatial awareness and environmental interaction.
    • Intersensory substitutability, the brain's ability to adapt sensory input, is crucial for development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of the SonicguideTM as an artificial intersensory substitute for congenitally blind children.
    • To explore developmental differences in the utilization of spatial information from sensory substitution devices.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved congenitally blind infants and young children using the SonicguideTM device.
    • A search task was designed to assess distally appropriate responses to spatial information.

    Main Results:

    • Younger subjects exhibited a more rapid sensitivity to spatial information conveyed by the SonicguideTM.
    • Developmental variations in processing substituted sensory input were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • The SonicguideTM shows potential as a tool for enhancing spatial awareness in blind children.
    • Developmental stage significantly influences the effectiveness and learning curve of intersensory substitution devices.
