Abstract

The effects on lingual vibrotactile thresholds of three different instructional sets and three different practice conditions were determined for 30 normal adult subjects. Results showed no measurable differences between thresholds obtained with the use of the three different instructional sets, but a high false alarm rate occurred for all conditions. When a subject was given practice at obtaining thresholds with a particular instructional set as a prerequisite to threshold data collection, false alarm responses disappeared. Lower (more sensitive) thresholds also were achieved when the practice condition used required the subject to provide three thresholds within 1 mu of each other before commencing with actual testing.
