Abstract
The function of grapheme-phoneme correspondences in the perception of Braille was investigated by presenting 26 Braille readers with pseudo-words which follow the rules of spelling-sound correspondence (pronounceable) and pseudo-words which do not (unpronounceable) and measuring the speed with which the two types of pseudo-words were read. Nearly all of the Ss spent more time reading the unpronounceable pseudo-words than the pronounceable pseudo-words. The results suggest that grapheme-phoneme correspondences function as grouping principles in the perception of Braille in the same manner as has been demonstrated for the perception of print by sighted Ss.
