| Abstract(in English) | At the first stage of braille learning, it is preferable to use braille characters which are easy for beginners to read tactually. This is the motive for exploring such braille characters through an experiment. The experimental results showed that braille characters with less than three dots, space in the second row, or a simple arrangement of dots were read with short reading times. At the same time, it was found that beginners tend to misunderstand the angle of the dotted lines and miss the space in the second row. Based on these results, we discussed the relationship between the arrangement of the dots and the reading time and the application of the experimental results to braille educational textbooks. |
