Form validation on blur or on form submission

Has anyone done any user testing to see whether people have a preference for form validation on blur or on form submission? I'm particularly interested in the results of testing with real non-technical users who are representative of the general public.

Also, did you identify any factors that affect these results, such as the length or layout of the form or whether the number of errors makes a difference?

I would have thought that the choice of validation approach is particularly relevant for screen reader and magnifier users, but did any other user groups have a preference for one approach or the other?
