Connecting the dots: Similar visual orthographic acquisition for Braille or line junctions - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review

Most written systems share basic shape features with natural objects such as line junctions, a commonality thought to be at the basis of fluent reading. Studies that compared reading acquisition for d...
