Adaptation of Tasks to Detect Mathematical Talent in People with Visual Impairment Based on the Analysis of Visualization and Generalization Skills

ABSTRACT:

In this work, we analyze the visualization skills and generalization in the resolution by a blind person of two tasks proposed for the identification of mathematical talent. From this analysis, some guidelines were established to adapt the tasks and contrasted with the skills required in the original test, especially those related to the characteristics of talent associated with generalization. We verifed that people with visual impairment require the manifestation of other skills, such as visual memory and perception of spatial relationships, which are not essential in the original statement.
