abstract = {The recognition of patterns and creativity are two characteristics associated with mathematical
talent. In this study, we analyzed these characteristics in a group of 37 mathematically talented
students. The students were asked to find the pattern the Braille code had been built upon and
reinvent it with the aim of making its mathematical language become more functional.
Initially, the students were unable to identify the formation pattern of Braille, but after
experiencing the difficulties that blind people face when reading it, they recognized the
generating element and the regularity. The results were in contrast with those of a control
group, and it is noted that the students with mathematical talent were more effective in using
visualization to identify the regularity of the pattern and their invention proposals were more
sophisticated and used less conventional mathematical content.},
