ABSTRACT

Congenital blindness is one of the rare human models to explore the role of experience-driven cross-modal compensation after early sensory deprivation. The auditory and tactile stimuli were now presented in sequence. Although both groups performed the task with similar accuracy, we observed that blind participants had shorter reaction times than sighted controls for the detection of spatial targets in both sensory modalities.
