Temporal resolution values for the tactile sensory modality were obtained for two loci, the tongue and the thenar eminence of the right hand, using a two-pulse mechanical stimulus. Two groups of 11 females each, participated in this study. One group was "sophisticated" in terms of educational background and training in experimental procedure. The other group was "naive" in terms of educational background and training in experimental procedure. Analysis showed that both the tongue and hand responded similarly to the fusion task but that there was a significant difference in fusion thresholds for both structures between the sophisticated and the naive groups. The sophisticated subjects showed more acute fusion thresholds for both the tongue and thenar eminence.
使用双脉冲机械刺激，针对舌部和右手鱼际这两个部位，获取了触觉感觉模态的时间分辨率值。两组各有11名女性参与了本研究。一组在教育背景和实验程序训练方面较为“成熟”。另一组在教育背景和实验程序训练方面则“缺乏经验”。分析表明，舌部和手部对融合任务的反应相似，但在成熟组和缺乏经验组之间，这两个结构的融合阈值存在显著差异。成熟组受试者在舌部和鱼际的融合阈值都更为敏锐。
