![]() ![]() There was no conclusive evidence for group differences in metacognitive ability to predict episodic recognition performance. In contrast to the auditory modality, there was no empirical support for compensatory effects in any of the olfactory tasks. Although the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) showed no overall effect of blindness and no interaction with modality, follow-up between-group contrasts indicated a blind-over-sighted advantage in auditory episodic recognition, that was most pronounced in early blind individuals. We tested early blind ( n = 15), late blind ( n = 15), and sighted ( n = 30) participants with analogous olfactory and auditory tests in absolute threshold, discrimination, identification, episodic recognition, and metacognitive ability. However, few studies have assessed blind and sighted individuals across different sensory modalities in the same study. 3Center for Language Studies and Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behavior, Radboud University, Nijmegen, NetherlandsĪlthough evidence is mixed, studies have shown that blind individuals perform better than sighted at specific auditory, tactile, and chemosensory tasks.2Division of Psychology, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.1Gösta Ekman Laboratory, Department of Psychology, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden.Stina Cornell Kärnekull 1† Artin Arshamian 1,2,3 * † Mats E. ![]()
