The purpose of this study was to determine whether tactile perception is a useful predictor of academic performance. 50 control and 42 brain-impaired (epileptic) children were examined. Both groups showed a strong relationship between tactile perceptual integrity and academic achievement. Analyses of extreme groups indicated that academic performance is clearly ordered by tactile perceptual skill not only for children with documented brain impairment but also for a normal control group as well. The implications for additions to the traditional cognitively oriented psychological test battery were discussed.
本研究的目的是确定触觉感知是否是学业成绩的一个有用预测指标。对50名对照组儿童和42名脑损伤（癫痫）儿童进行了检查。两组儿童的触觉感知完整性与学业成绩之间均显示出密切关系。对极端组的分析表明，不仅有脑损伤记录的儿童，而且正常对照组儿童的学业成绩也明显按触觉感知技能排序。文中还讨论了对传统认知取向心理测试组合的补充意义。
