The effects of reading mode and braille reading patterns on braille reading speed and comprehension: A study of students with visual impairments in China

Exploring Correlates of Braille Reading Performance in Working-age and Older Adults with Visual Impairments

“…Consistent with prior research (Chen, Liang, Lu, Potměšil, & Zhong, 2019;Fertsch, 1946;Knowlton & Wetzel, 1996;Laroche, Boulé, & Wittich, 2012;Wetzel & Knowlton, 2000), a clear and statistically significant difference was found between oral and silent reading, with silent reading being approximately 15% faster. Silent reading has also been correlated with greater reading speeds among the sighted (Van den Boer, van Bergen, & de Jong, 2014).…”

“…Fertsch (1946) hypothesized that the slower reading rates are a consequence of readers feeling self-conscious about mispronouncing a word that, when reading silently, they might predict through context. It has also been suggested that the time and cognitive effort required to decode and work out not only the meaning but also the pronunciation of each word leads to a slowing of reading speed (Chen et al, 2019;Van den Boer et al, 2014). These findings reinforce the importance of considering both reading task and reading mode when assessing older clients.…”

Determinants of Reading Efficiency of the Students with Visual Impairment

“…Ancak bu sonuçlar, bu bireylerin okuduklarını anlamada zorluk çektiklerini göstermemektedir. Ayrıca, İngilizce braille yazısı ile ilgili yapılmış çok sayıda çalışma olmasına rağmen, alanyazındaki çalışmalardan yalnızca birkaçının diğer dillerdeki braille yazıya ilişkin olduğu görülmektedir (Chen, Liang, Lu, Potměšil ve Zhong, 2019;Jarjoura ve Karni, 2014;Papadimitriou ve Argyropoulos, 2017). Bunun dışında, alanyazında bu bireylerin okuma etkililiğine tesir edebilecek faktörleri inceleyen araştırma sayısının yetersiz olması da oldukça dikkat çekicidir.…”

The association between tactile, motor and cognitive capacities and braille reading performance: a scoping review of primary evidence to advance research on braille and aging

“…Categorical definitions for age of onset: Chen [59]: Congenital (0-10 months), Adventitious: 1-13 years; Daneman [61]: Congenital (at birth), Adventitious: "early childhood to middle adulthood"; Mousty [77]: Congenital (at birth), Adventitious: after birth (60% before age 6, 20% before age 10, 13% before age 11, 7% before age 19); Oshima [80]: Early onset (0 to 3), Late onset: 6-52; Sampaio [82]: Birth (0), Early childhood: 1.5-6.…”
