摘要：

This experiment was designed to test the influence of contrast on tactile resolution by the use of different modes of distribution of pressure stimuli, with control of various factors such as intensity, area, rate, and time of application. The experimental task was two-point discrimination. The results showed that the use of annular stimuli result in a significantly higher number of resolutions than the use of circular stimuli, the intensity, total stimulating area, and pressure being controlled. The proposed interpretation of the results is that increase of stimulus contrast increases the resolving power of the somesthetic system. © 1968 Psychonomic Society, Inc.
