Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was any difference in tactile discrimination of six nursery school children before and after a tactually depriving experience. Each subject was asked to report verbally his discrimination of heat, pressure, and texture stimuli, applied by specially devised instruments, on a specific area of the volar surface of the right forearm. A plaster cast, which extended from below the elbow distally to above the wrist of the right arm, was worn for 48 hours to provide the tactually depriving experience. Tactile discrimination of heat, pressure, and texture stimuli was measured before application, immediately after removal, and again 96 hours after removal of the cast.
