摘要
Subjects who were placed in darkness for a week but otherwise were exposed to a normal and varied sensory environment showed a significant increase in absolute pressure sensitivity of the finger, forearm, neck, and leg, but not of the palm, relative to a group of controls. Measures of tactual and auditory localization, on the other hand, showed no significant changes after visual deprivation. These results provide some experimental support for Schultz’s (1965) sensoristatic theory. © 1969, Psychonomic Journals, Inc.. All rights reserved.
