Editing Human echolocation (section)

===Lawrence Scadden===

Lawrence Scadden lost his sight as a child due to illness, but learned to use echolocation well enough to ride a bicycle in traffic. (His parents thought that he still had some sight remaining.)<!-- Removed due to self-published article:<ref>{{cite book |url=https://www.amazon.com/Surpassing-Expectations-Life-without-Sight/dp/1425797229/ |title=Surpassing Expectations: Life Without Sight |author=Scadden, Lawrence |date=2008-07-22 |publisher=Xlibris |ISBN=978-1425797225}}</ref>-->  In 1998, he was interviewed at the Auditory Neuroethology Laboratory at the [[University of Maryland]] about his experience with echolocation.<ref name=White70/> The researchers were aware of the ''Wiederorientierung'' phenomenon described by Griffin{{sfn|Griffin|1959}} where bats, despite continuing to emit echolocation calls, use [[path integration]] in familiar acoustic space. Scadden said he did the same, as echolocation required extra effort.

The National Science Teachers Association created the "Lawrence A.
