Download or read book Mobility of Visually Impaired People written by Edwige Pissaloux and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-20 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the design of the new mobility assistive information and communication technologies (ICT) devices for the visually impaired. The book begins with a definition of the space concept, followed by the concept of interaction with a space during mobility and this interaction characteristics. The contributors will then examine the neuro-cognitive basis of space perception for mobility and different theories of space perception. The text presents the existing technologies for space perception (sense recovery with stem and iPS cells, implants, brain plasticity, sensory substitution devices, multi modal technologies, etc.), the newest technologies for mobility assistance design, the way the feedback on environment is conveyed to the end-user. Methods for formative and summative evaluations of the mobility devices will also be discussed. The book concludes with a look to the future trends in research and technology development for mobility assistive information and communication technologies.

Download or read book Rehabilitation of Visual Disorders After Brain Injury written by Josef Zihl and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About twenty percent of patients with acquired brain injury suffer from visual deficits; the examination and treatment of these patients therefore represents a particular challenge in its own right. Furthermore, adequate visual perception is a crucial prerequisite for almost all cognitive and motor activities. Despite a long research tradition in visual neuroscience, the rehabilitation of cerebral visual deficits has, until recently, been neglected. This book is the first to report systematic observations on spontaneous recovery of cerebral visual deficits after acquired brain injury, and the outcome of treating these deficits. The whole range of human visual functions and capacities is covered: visual field, visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, visual adaptation, color vision, visual space perception, and visual cognition. Additionally, there is a special section devoted to patients with central scotoma. All treatment procedures described are empirically founded. This highly innovative contribution to neuropsychological rehabilitation shows that the study of restitution and compensation of impaired and lost brain functions represents a unique opportunity to increase our understanding of brain plasticity. Of interest to both the practitioner and the scientist, it aims to stimulate further developments and improvements in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the findings in the fields of general education and psychology as they relate to vision loss. It is concerned primarily with providing understanding of the many elements that must be considered before a successful rehabilitative and/or an educational program can be developed. This type of understanding is illustrated in the book by examples drawn from experience that the authors have directly observed. Theoretical factors are described that must be considered in the development of a suitable program for a person with specific strengths and weaknesses. Discussions are also included that relate to the meaning and implications of self-concept and self-esteem in the overall adjustment of individuals with vision loss. Also, psychological and sociological theories are evaluated of 'the blind' as described in writings such as Kim's, The Community of the Blind, and Scott's, The Making of a Blind Man, in terms of their relevance of life adjustment. Weaknesses are identified in the research bases in this field and propose specific research activities that could help alleviate problems. Another focus is on provision of explanations of the origin, development, influence, and modification of public attitudes toward blindness and the influence of these attitudes on the adjustment of individuals with blindness. It will be of interest not only to educators and rehabilitation specialists in the field of work for the blind, but also to psychologists, social workers, educators, and therapists.

Download or read book Psychology of Touch and Blindness written by Morton A. Heller and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the considerable body of research that has been done to evaluate the touch skills of blind people. With an emphasis on cognitive and neuroscientific approaches, it encompasses a wide-ranging discussion of the theoretical issues in the field of touch perception and blindness. The volume includes chapters on sensory aspects of touch, perception in blind individuals, multimodal relations and their implications for instruction and development, and new technology, including sensory aids and virtual touch. A distinctive feature of the book is the inclusion of the practical applications of research in this area. A significant characteristic of research on touch and imagery in congenitally blind individuals is that it speaks to the basic nature of spatial imagery and the importance and necessity -- or lack thereof -- of specific visual sensory experience for the acquisition of knowledge about space, spatial layout, and picture perception. As such, the book will not only appeal to researchers and professionals with an interest in touch and blindness, but also to a wider audience of cognitive psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists working in the field of perception.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to reflect the contours of the notion of aid as it is questioned by current scientific research. This notion appears as fuzzy in its scope of intervention, in its methods of multidisciplinary and multi-referential approaches in theoretical frameworks convened. Present in different areas that we propose to investigate in the book (training and teaching at university, inclusion in education, but also prevention, the fight against failure in orientation), the notion of help questions research in SHS and Computer Science. It comes in different formats labeled "help" but also "support", "support" or "guidance". In order to take stock of these notions and to question their differences, we convoke several authors (French and foreign) who participate by their research (-action) underlining components and environmental factors of the device that give this notion any its thickness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When children and adults apply for disability benefits and claim that a visual impairment has limited their ability to function, the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) is required to determine their eligibility. To ensure that these determinations are made fairly and consistently, SSA has developed criteria for eligibility and a process for assessing each claimant against the criteria. Visual Impairments: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits examines SSA's methods of determining disability for people with visual impairments, recommends changes that could be made now to improve the process and the outcomes, and identifies research needed to develop improved methods for the future. The report assesses tests of visual function, including visual acuity and visual fields whether visual impairments could be measured directly through visual task performance or other means of assessing disability. These other means include job analysis databases, which include information on the importance of vision to job tasks or skills, and measures of health-related quality of life, which take a person-centered approach to assessing visual function testing of infants and children, which differs in important ways from standard adult tests.

Download or read book Touching for Knowing written by Yvette Hatwell and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2003-09-09 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dominance of vision is so strong in sighted people that touch is sometimes considered as a minor perceptual modality. However, touch is a powerful tool which contributes significantly to our knowledge of space and objects. Its intensive use by blind persons allows them to reach the same levels of knowledge and cognition as their sighted peers.In this book, specialized researchers present the recent state of knowledge about the cognitive functioning of touch. After an analysis of the neurophysiology and neuropsychology of touch, exploratory manual behaviors, intramodal haptic (tactual-kinesthetic) abilities and cross-modal visual-tactual coordination are examined in infants, children and adults, and in non-human primates. These studies concern both sighted and blind persons in order to know whether early visual deprivation modifies the modes of processing space and objects. The last section is devoted to the technical devices favoring the school and social integration of the young blind: Braille reading, use of raised maps and drawings, “sensory substitution” displays, and new technologies of communication adapted for the blind.

Download or read book The Visually Disabled and the Elderly in the Age of IC Technologies written by María Pilar Munuera Gómez and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a survey of technological innovations that enhance both the learning processes and the living conditions of individuals who live with a disability and the elderly. Information and Communications Technology (ICT) refers to technologies that process, store and communicate information to single users and across groups of users. Computers, microelectronics, multimedia and telecommunications are examples of widespread ICT media, largely available in homes, the workplace, and academic centers. New Information and Communication Technologies are now contributing to the social inclusion of people with different kinds of disabilities. These same technologies function as effective tools to aid others who, through a natural decline in their cognitive and physical conditions, require some kind of support. What is more, IC technologies often become the mechanism that facilitates the exercising of disabled persons rights, thus enfranchising a community that might otherwise run the risk of being marginalised. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted on 13 December 2006, establishes a before and after in the public perception of people with disabilities following a long period of social exclusion. The Convention aims to ensure the full enjoyment on an equal footing of all human rights for all disabled people. These advances in legislation establish that those with disabilities, including visual impairment, cognitive disorders, and natural physical decline (to name a few) are complete people. Thus, they possess the legal capacity and as such, they are to be given the opportunity to exercise their rights in the same manner as those members of the community who are free from these constraints. The support and protection of the State, as it adjusts the law to this precept, will thus enshrine a new understanding that goes beyond the ability to act as a person, and links the above rights to the unchanging fact of being human. IC Tech(nologies) involve processing and distributing knowledge, connecting businesses worldwide, and creating fast and efficient communication exchanges. Most importantly, they are largely inclusive, as they recognise neither difficulties nor disabilities. This is the case, for example, with support devices for visually impaired individuals. The devices structure emphasizes clean and simple designs, with easily distinguishable control buttons that enable visually impaired people to have a text reader transform printed texts into oral information. Consequently, visually impaired users can now access their favorite newspapers or magazines by hearing news read in natural sounding voices and in more than thirty languages. The chapters compiled in this book have been organized according to three interrelated thematic subsections. The first subsection groups all chapters that deal with IC technologies employed by the visually impaired or seniors to support learning activities. The second subsection groups chapters whose unifying theme is the use of technologies to boost memory capacity among Alzheimers patients and the elderly. The third section deals with social and protectionist policies that safeguard the well-being of the elderly and the disabled.
