Subjects (N = 30) actively touched forms with the preferred palm or were restricted to passive touch, where forms were either statically or sequentially pressed on the palm. Visual matches to tactual standards were made with unlimited stimulus exposure time. Active touch was superior to both forms of passive touch in recognition accuracy. The provision of sequential presentations and stimulus change failed to aid passive touch.
受试者（N = 30）用优势手主动触摸形状，或者被限制为被动触摸，即形状要么静态地要么依次按压在手掌上。在无限制的刺激暴露时间下进行视觉与触觉标准的匹配。在识别准确性方面，主动触摸优于两种形式的被动触摸。提供依次呈现和刺激变化并不能帮助被动触摸。
