Abstract
This article discusses the implications of veering for blind pedestria ns, information and methods for averting veering, and relevant researc h from 1983 to the present. The authors suggest that researchers shoul d use dependent variables that better reflect the spatial characterist ics of the ''tendency to veer.''
