| Abstract(in English) | We analyzed the relationship among braille reading speed, contact force, tactile movements, and attributes of thirty-two braille readers. As a result, we have found that braille reading speed is related to the age when braille was learned and the frequency of braille usage but not to tactile movements. Also, it was found that most of slower braille readers show a light contact force, whereas faster readers show a comparatively strong force that varies from person to person. |
