    "title": "Effects of Blindfolding on Verbal and Gestural Expression of Path in Auditory\nMotion Events",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Studies have claimed that blind people’s spatial representations\nare different from sighted people, and blind people display\nsuperior auditory processing. Due to the nature of auditory and\nhaptic information, it has been proposed that blind people have\nspatial representations that are more sequential than sighted\npeople. Even the temporary loss of sight—such as through\nblindfolding—can affect spatial representations, but not much\nresearch has been done on this topic. We compared blindfolded\nand sighted people’s linguistic spatial expressions and non-\nlinguistic localization accuracy to test how blindfolding affects\nthe representation of path in auditory motion events. We found\nthat blindfolded people were as good as sighted people when\nlocalizing simple sounds, but they outperformed sighted people\nwhen localizing auditory motion events. Blindfolded people’s\npath related speech also included more sequential, and less\nholistic elements. Our results indicate that even temporary loss\nof sight influences spatial representations of auditory motion\nevents.",
