The aim of this study was to examine the differences in tactile perception in children with and without visual impairment. The study covered 30 examinees with visual impairment and 30 subjects without visual impairment aged 7-13, both sexes. The research was conducted in the "First Elementary School" ("Prva osnovna škola") in Zavidovići and the "Centre for Blind and Visually Impaired Children and Youth" Nedžarići - Sarajevo. The results of the study showed that children with visual impairment have a better developed tactile perception in their entirety, compared to children with no visual impairment, and that there is a statistically significant difference in the individual variables of tactile perception: " Two-Point Discrimination" (right), " Two-Point Discrimination R "(left) and" Stereognosis "(left).
The aim of this study was to examine the differences in the development of tactile functions in visually impaired (amblyopic) children in relation to the category and type of visual impairment. In the study, 30 respondents with visual impairment, aged 7-13 and of both genders were examined. Tactile functions assessment was performed using the LuriaNebraska Tactile Functions Assessment Scale ('C3'). A t-test was used to examine the significance of arithmetic mean differences. With respect to the category of visual impairment, it was found that there were statistically significant differences in arithmetic means on three variables of tactile perception. Respondents have equally developed tactile functions in relation to the type of visual impairment
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
