    It is difficult for visually handicapped people to recognize spaces and their position when they walk on curved paths. They often have accidents or lose their way in such paths. In this study, in order to clarify the spatial cognition of the visually handicapped and their characteristics of the search behavior, experiments were carried out by producing 7 kinds of model paths. I made it clear whether the visually handicapped could recognize the direction of the paths, whether they could keep the direction, and how to know the direction and the clues for their spatial cognition.
