使用听觉替代视觉，对 6 名早期失明者和 6 名蒙眼视力受试者进行了计算机环境中的模式识别研究。受试者必须通过移动绘图板的笔来扫描电脑屏幕上显示的视觉图案，这会导致屏幕上的光标发生相应的位移。然后，以指针为中心的小屏幕区域根据视觉听觉转录代码转换为声音。受试者在 12 个一小时的课程中接受了学习此代码的培训。通过练习，两组的表现均显着提高。这表明即使没有视觉体验，视觉模式的心理表征也可以通过听觉通道获得。此外，盲人受试者的表现明显优于视力正常的受试者。这可以解释为他们视力丧失的部分补偿的结果。因此，使用相当自然的视觉到听觉编码方案可以在计算机环境中进行模式识别。版权所有 (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Pattern recognition in a computer environment was investigated in 6 early blind and 6 blindfolded sighted subjects using auditory substitution of vision. Subjects had to scan visual patterns displayed on a PC screen by moving the pen of a graphics tablet, which lead to corresponding displacements of the cursor on the screen. A small screen area centered on the pointer was then translated into sounds according to a visual-auditory transcription code. Subjects were trained to learn this code during 12 one-hour sessions. Performance of both groups significantly increased with practice. This indicates that mental representations Of Visual patterns can be acquired through the auditory channel, even in the absence of visual experience. Moreover, blind subjects performed significantly better than sighted subjects did. This could be interpreted as a result of partial compensation for their loss of vision. Pattern recognition in a computer environment is thus possible using a fairly natural vision-to-audition coding scheme. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
