In this paper, we use the Theory of Figural Concepts to describe the geometrical reasoning when solvers cannot rely on visual information. We analyse a case study of a blind mathematician solving a geometrical task. Qualitative analyses allow observations of an effective figural and conceptual blending and problematizing the visual and spatial aspects that seem to be encapsulated into Fischbein’s description of figural components.

Abstract
In this paper, we use the Theory of Figural Concepts to describe the geometrical reasoning when solvers cannot rely on visual information. We analyse a case study of a blind mathematician solving a geometrical task. Qualitative analyses allow observations of an effective figural and conceptual blending and problematizing the visual and spatial aspects that seem to be encapsulated into Fischbein’s description of figural components.File in questo prodotto:
