title: Lipreading with tactile supplements.
abstract: Lipreading performance, after brief training, was measured in two normal subjects, as the percentage of words recognized in sets of unrelated sentences. Three receptive conditions were used: lipreading alone, lipreading plus a single-channel tactile display of fundamental frequency (temporal only), and lipreading plus a multichannel, tactile, spatial display of fundamental frequency (temporal-spatial). After training, performance with tactile supplements was better than without, but it was not possible to conclude that either of the tactile displays was better than the other. During training, a significant correlation between performance and session number was found for the temporal-spatial display only.
