We report a series of three experiments designed to examine the effect of posture on tactile
temporal processing. Observers reported which of two tactile stimuli, presented to the left …

Shore et al.[DI Shore, E. Spry, C. Spence, Spatial modulation of tactile temporal order
judgments, Perception (submitted for publication)] recently demonstrated that people find it …

The ability to report the temporal order of 2 tactile stimuli (1 applied to each hand) has been
shown to decline when the arms are crossed over compared with when they are uncrossed …

Several recent studies have shown that judgments of temporal order for tactile stimuli
presented to the two hands are greatly affected by crossing the hands. The size of the …

The sense of touch is initiated by stimulation of peripheral mechanoreceptors, and then the
spatio-temporal pattern of the receptors' activation is interpreted by central cortical …

Four experiments were conducted, three with tactile stimuli and one with visual stimuli, in
which subjects made temporal order judgments (TOJs). The tactile stimuli were patterns that …

Temporal orderjudgments (TOJs) were obtained for tactile stimulipresented to-subjects'
fingerpads. In one set ofmeasurements, pairs of spatial patterns were presented …

We examined effects of handedness on the judgment of temporal order of successive taps
delivered to both hands. When the subjects' arms were uncrossed, the temporal resolution …

We investigated any differences in people's ability to reconstruct the appropriate
spatiotemporal ordering of multiple tactile stimuli, when presented in frontal space (a region …

To respond to a touch, it is often necessary to localize it in space, and not just on the skin.
The computation of this external spatial location involves the integration of somatosensation …
