Self-evaluation and Recruitment of Feedback for Enhanced Social Interaction by a Student with Visual Impairment

In: Journal of visual impairment & blindness: JVIB, Band 99, Heft 8, S. 486-498

Abstract

A student who is visually impaired was trained to evaluate his social behavior and to recruit feedback from his sighted peers, who were trained by him to provide the feedback. The self-recruitment of feedback improved the student's accuracy in evaluating social skills requiring visual cues. In addition, the peers extended their feedback to other aspects of the social environment than social behavior.
