We have investigated the relation between haptico-visual recognition of objects and cognitive tasks in two large samples of preschoolers (n = 534; n = 750). Children aged 6 years completed a cross-modal task in which they have first to haptically explore an object and second to visually recognize it; they also performed phonological, verbal semantic, and visual tasks. For two consecutive years, bimanual haptico-visual recognition was significantly correlated to performance at all the cognitive tasks. The meaning of this relationship is discussed. The study supports the view that haptico-visual recognition tasks should be used as screening tools for early identification of children at risk of learning difficulties.
我们在两组大型学龄前儿童样本（n = 534；n = 750）中研究了物体的触觉 - 视觉识别与认知任务之间的关系。6岁儿童完成了一项跨模态任务，其中他们首先要通过触觉探索一个物体，然后通过视觉识别它；他们还进行了语音、语言语义和视觉任务。连续两年，双手触觉 - 视觉识别与所有认知任务的表现均显著相关。本文讨论了这种关系的意义。该研究支持这样一种观点，即触觉 - 视觉识别任务应用作筛查工具，以便早期识别有学习困难风险的儿童。
