The study was designed to compare the ability of congenitally blind and sighted individuals to memorize embossed 2D right-angle-figures with varied number of angles displayed against a grid or in a frame. We hypothesized that blind adults learn embossed shapes: 1) faster than sighted participants – this assumption was verified positively; 2) more accurately – which was not confirmed. The grid interfered with sighted people in solving the task, but it had no impact on the performance of participants with blindness. These results can be explained by referring to the memorizing strategies used by those who do and do not have visual experience. Sighted individuals use visual strategies more often than congenitally blind participants. The strategies identified in both groups were used either in isolation or in combination with a verbal or a kinaesthetic strategy.

The study was designed to investigate imagery strategies used by blind and sighted individuals and their ability to operate spatial representations. Performance accuracy in the imagery tasks was confirmed to be similar in the blind individuals with no visual memories and in the sighted subjects. On the other hand, the findings showed differences in preferred imagery strategies. The sighted, more often than the blind subjects, used the strategy of visualizing spatial matrices. The blind subjects applied a tapping strategy more often than the sighted ones. Additional analysis focused on the function of working memory systems in processing spatial stimuli by the blind and sighted subjects.
