Visual Search Training and Obstacle Avoidance in Adults with Visual Impairments

In: Journal of visual impairment & blindness: JVIB, Band 104, Heft 4, S. 215-227

Abstract

This study assessed the effect of visual search training on the avoidance of obstacles by adults with visual impairments. A significant reduction in contacts with obstacles under mesopic conditions was found in individuals who received search training. This finding suggests that search training had a positive effect on mobility performance.
