TACTILE LEARNING DEVICE FOR THE HANDICAPPED

摘要

A learning device for people with damage to the cortical areas of the brain and minimal brain disfunction related to learning. It comprises an elongated housing one end of which is provided with a writing instrument and the other end of which is provided with an electromagnetic transducer which, when connected to a sound recording source, such as a cassette player, causes the elongated housing to vibrate mechanically in accordance with the frequency of sound signals. The device, when held against the skull while vibrating, transmits sound to both hemispheres of the brain so as to accomplish auditory perceptual training.
