本研究以不同形式的物體作業,探討全盲者末階的空間表現。總計16位參與者依視覺條件分爲:先天無光覺全盲者六人,先天有光覺全盲者五人,後天全盲者五人,年齡自17歲11個月至23歲三個月,共收集135張全盲者的圖畫。研究結果爲:1.18歲以後全盲者空間表現較前期更精緻成熟,視覺限制並未造成表現發展的停滯。2.不同的視覺條件、作業命題會影響表現差異。3.全盲者末階與明眼者初階表現近似,兩者間出現階序不同。因此,全盲者末階空間表現與明眼者不同。支持伊彬、徐春江等學者所主張觸覺不能取代視覺,全盲者與明眼者的空間表現不同。反對Kennedy等學者所主張的觸覺能夠取代視覺,全盲者與明眼者空間表現相同的理論。
The present research studies the late stages of spatial representation of totally blind people through various 3D stimuli. Sixteen totally blind people, aged 17 to 23 years old, classified into 3 types according to visual conditions, participated the study. One hundred and thirty five drawings were collected and analyzed. The results suggest: 1. the visual condition does not prevent blind people's drawing to develop into a finer and more mature stage after 18 years old. 2. The participants' drawing performances varied with different tasks and participants' visual conditions. 3. Blind people's late stages of drawing development is similar to the sighted people's primitive stage; whereas the sequence of the developmental stages is dissimilar. The research concludes that vision cannot be replaced by tactility when performing perspective drawings. The conclusion is consistent with earlier researches done by I & Shiu and rejects Kennedy's theory.
