“…The capacity to see a group of adjacent characters during fixation at some point in a line of print requires a minimum breadth of visual field of about 2°to either side of the locus of fixation and 1°above and below (Trauzettel-Klosinski, 2007). An absolute central scotoma with central fixation results in an obscuration of the reading field.…”

The aim of the present study is to investigate how quite specific sensory inputs (visual inputs from central or peripheral regions of the retina and haptic inputs) relate to complex cognitive performance. We compare individuals with severe peripheral visual field loss, Braille reader with central scotomata (SDB group), print readers with central scotomata, and normally sighted people on visual reading and spatial imagery tasks. Experiment 1 showed that the SDB subjects were significantly less accurate than the other groups on reading visual print letters, words, digits, and 4-digit numbers aloud. In experiment 2, SDB subjects also performed worse than the other subjects on imagery tasks that required indicating spatial characteristics of orally presented print letters, rotated capital letters, print words, and number shapes. Experiment 3 revealed that the SDB group improved their performance when instructed to draw the outlines of imagined stimuli shapes haptically. The findings suggest that visual memory needs perceptual practice to be maintained and that haptic inputs can be used to improve verbal and spatial imagery skills in visually impaired individuals.

Homonymous field defects cause reading and orientation disorders. The reading disorder depends on the size of the macular sparing, the side of the field defect (unfavorable in reading direction) and spontaneous adaptive mechanisms. Methods which support compensation strategies should be recommended as evidence-based training procedures: optokinetic training with scrolled text for reading disorders and saccade training for orientation disorders. By optimized utilization of the total field of gaze, general exploration of the environment, reaction times during search tasks and quality of life can be improved.
