A comparative study of blind and sighted children in the 5 to 7 year age range was made, based on the responses to the Kephart Scale. It was found that blind children have misinformation, fragmented concepts, and a limited use of differentiation of information. Deprived of the visual process, they are deprived of a wide range of information gathering that is available to sighted children. This deprivation does not seem to be sufficiently compensated for by giving them auditory and tactile information. A Gestalt type of information coding, using a more nearly life-like situation, appears necessary in the coding process. The results indicate that there are areas of research available which should be influential in offering broader curricula.

Aspects of sensory, cognitive and affective development are examined within this conceptual framework.

□ The development of special education and rehabilitation for deaf-blind persons is still many years behind the stage reached for other handicapped groups. Much of the development has taken place within the past several years. However, enough has already been accomplished to hold good promise for the years ahead; and while we cannot be complacent about expanded and improved opportunities now available for deaf-blind persons, we can take encouragement from the fact that, considering what has been achieved and what can be expected in the near future, a deaf-blind child today enjoys a reasonably good prospect for finding an acceptable place for himself in the world when he reaches adulthood. With continuing faith, hard work, and patience we may hope that, within our lifetime, most deaf-blind children will enjoy opportunities and choices for their future not too greatly different from those enjoyed by their nonhandicapped peers.

The World without Sight. A Comparative Study of Concept Understanding in Polish Congenitally Totally Blind and Sighted ChildrenThe paper presents the outcome of an experiment on concept understanding in Polish congenitally totally blind and sighted children. A test of free associations was administered to a group of 40 sighted and 24 congenitally totally blind children between the ages of 7 and 9. The research instrument included 25 sample concepts grouped into four categories such as colors, nature phenomena, features of living organisms and physical processes. The collected responses lend support to the fact that there exist many impediments to proper concept understanding due to limited hands-on experience arising out of blindness, visible in the research by the presence of gaps in knowledge or egocentrism-based responses. The data exhibits a blind child's high dependence on contextual clues and a delay in the process of decontextualization, especially if it is not accompanied by sufficient stimulation from the child's environment.

The paper reflects the specificity of the fundamental ideas of the artistic world of M. G. Atamanov, which includes a wide range of literary facts from the content level of the text of the works to their poetics. A particularly important role in the works of M. G. Atamanov is played by cross-cutting themes and images that reflect the author's individual style and his idea of national-ethnic identity. The subject of the research is the book of essays “Mon - Udmurt. Maly mynym vös’?” (“I am Udmurt. Why does it hurt?”), which most vividly reflected the main spiritual and artistic searches of M. G. Atamanov, associated with his ideas about the Udmurt people. The main motives and plots of the works included in the book under consideration are accumulated around the concept of “Udmurtness”. The comprehension of “Udmurtness” is modeled in his essays through specific leit themes: native language, Udmurt people, national culture, mentality, geographic and topographic features of the Udmurt people’ places of residence, the Orthodox idea. The “Udmurt theme” is recognized and comprehended by the writer through the prism of national identity.

Cultural Regeneration

Most of the world’s Muslims reside in countries where they are numericallypredominant. As such, these Muslims possess a majoritarian outlook in sharpcontrast to the perspective of minority Muslims living in India, China, theUSSR, and some Western countries. In recent years, Muslim minorities havefound themselves at the confluence of diverse social forces and politicaldevelopments which have heightened their sense of communal identity andapprehension vish-vis non-Muslim majorities. This has been particularlytrue of the crisis besetting the Indian Muslims in 1990-91 as well as the newlyformed Muslim communities in Western Europe.The foregoing circumstances have highlighted the need for serious researchon Muslim minorities within a comparative framework. What follows is apreliminary outline of a research framework for a comparative study of Muslimminorities using the Indian Muslims as an illustrative case.The Salience of TraditionOne of the most significant transnational phenomena in the four decadessince mid-century has been the revival of communal consciousness amongminorities in a large number of countries throughout the world. This tendencytoward cultural regeneration has been noted among such diverse ethnic groupsas Afro-Americans, French Canadians, Palestinian Arabs, the Scots of GreatBritain, Soviet minorities, and native Americans. A common tendency amongthese groups is to reach back to their cultural traditions and to explore thoseroots which have served as the historical anchors of their present communalexistence. Significantly, this quest for tradition has had a salutary impactupon the lives of these communities, for it has reinforced their collectiveand individual identities and has enabled them to confront the multipledifficulties of modem life more effectively.
