Seeing things differently
First year grad student studies working memory variations in visually impaired and sighted individuals
Graduate student Karen Arcos explored the UCI campus extensively before she arrived for her first quarter in the Department of Cognitive Sciences. She learned walking routes to labs and classrooms, and became familiar with identifying landmarks around campus - she even learned train travel. Many incoming students adopt a more casual, 'I'll figure it out' attitude, but for Arcos - who is totally blind - that wasn’t an option.
The National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow has faced many challenges to get to where she is today - that is, completing a prestigious Ph.D. program with a nationally renown fellowship under her belt. So taking these extra steps to prepare for her arrival at UCI was nothing out of the ordinary. Her research proposal to the NSF tackles one such challenge in particular - the decline of braille usage among the visually impaired.
