Cognitive map formation in the blind is enhanced by three-dimensional tactile information

Abstract For blind individuals, tactile maps are useful tools to form cognitive maps through touch. However, they still experience challenges in cognitive map formation and independent navigation. Three-dimensional (3D) tactile information is thus increasingly being considered to convey enriched spa...
