In the first study, subjects received training on the identification of consonant and vowel stimuli through Tadoma. In posttraining tests, an average score of 73% was obtained on a set of 24 consonants presented in CV syllables, and an average score of 82% was obtained on a set of 15 vowels and diphthongs presented in /g/-V-/d/ syllables. An analysis of the confusion matrices derived from the identification tests in terms of various articulatory/phonological features indicated that the features place, voicing, frication, and round were well-perceived for consonants and round, tense, vertical lip separation, and low, for vowels. In the second study, subjects received training through Tadoma on comprehension of sentences composed of words from a 43-item vocabulary. In tests for which sentence stimuli were repeated until a correct response was obtained, the subjects identified an average of 30% of the words correctly on the first presentation and required an average of roughly four presentations for complete identification of the stimulus.
