Examining Highly Skilled Cane Travelers: A Preliminary Study

[摘要] Seven highly skilled canetravelers were studied using methods adapted from reading researchmethodologies.This study examined boththe skilled cane travelers and the methods used to describe them.Preliminary results indicate that theadaptation of reading research methods can prove useful in describing thebehaviors and practices of skilled cane travelers.Preliminary results from the subjects of thestudy indicate that auditory cues are considered more important than tactilecues by most expert travelers.Thisstudy suggests that expert travelers tend to shift from conscious tosubconscious thinking in a fluid manner with a surprising level of consciousthought given to relatively routine matters. Little difference was found between male and female cane travelers withthe exception that females tended to ask more questions of the general public.
