To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of interest is the rareness with which tactual imagery appears in A's imaginative processes, and its confinement largely to tactual-kinaesthetic-visual complexes. We find, as in our previous series of experiments, that A's visual images are relatively much richer in details of hue and brightness than in details of shape and outline. Accordingly, A pronounces his imagery rich in detail if in its general shape and form it is relatively persistent, or if his visual attention shifts, un- disturbed,... from one rather vaguely outlined object or region in his imagery to another. Indefiniteness of minute detail and indis- tinctness of outline may possibly be due to A's 17 years of blind- ness. In visualizing the traffic of a city street, A sees but passing shapes and forms for wagons, horses, automobiles and the like; in visualizing an office building, dots and patches of color represent objects on display in the show-windows; details of construction such as small bricks, large stone blocks and the like do not appear unless under a special Aufgahe to construct them voluntarily.
