Visualized braille was presented on Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) to six subjects, 12‐50 years of age. All subjects were established tactile readers of braille. Pretest for reading visual braille showed that the subjects spontaneously recognized and read this kind of text. Thus, the results support cross‐modal transfer of learning from tactile to visual modality. Reading performance from pre‐ and post‐test in visual braille was compared with that in tactile braille. Moreover, after six days of intensively visual training with geometrical figures and ordinary print, the post‐tests showed that these blind subjects could discriminate visual forms and read ordinary print by use of CCTV. In this paper the discussion is restricted to the results concerning visual and tactile braille testing. 1This paper is a part of...
