Cutaneous pattern perception on foreheads in 3- and 4-year-old children.
A study was conducted to investigate how three- and four-year-old children perceived mirror-image stimuli traced on their foreheads. Twenty-two three- and four-year-olds were taught matching-to-sample tasks with symmetrically shaped and asymmetrically shaped figures, called mirror-image stimuli, on...

| Sumario: | A study was conducted to investigate how three- and four-year-old children perceived mirror-image stimuli traced on their foreheads. Twenty-two three- and four-year-olds were taught matching-to-sample tasks with symmetrically shaped and asymmetrically shaped figures, called mirror-image stimuli, on cards. Subjects were then taught cutaneous perception of a figure traced on the forehead by the experimenter's finger. Finally, subjects were tested with mirror-image stimuli in cutaneous perception tasks. Findings indicated that the subjects who could discriminate the mirror-image stimuli could also perceive asymmetrical stimuli as mirror reversals. |
