Interactions of cognitive and auditory abilities in congenitally blind individuals (original) (raw)

This research investigates the cognitive and auditory capabilities of congenitally blind individuals, focusing on their performance across various cognitive and perceptual tasks. It evaluates potential advantages in memory and auditory discrimination compared to sighted individuals, exploring both the supporting and conflicting findings in existing literature. Results indicate notable differences in specific auditory tasks, with blind participants often outperforming sighted controls, suggesting enhanced auditory processing abilities in the absence of visual input.
