Abstract
This article reports on current research on stereotypes in a group of blind children in Barcelona, Spain. The goal of this research is to establish the causes of stereotypic behavior and to try to understand what it means. We have taken into account stereotypes present in primates as well as stereotypes sighted children exhibit during normal development. Mannerisms and blindisms covering a range of verbal and motor behavior are defined and discussed, as are the variables of behavior related to them.
