“…In these studies, individuals have been asked to tactically identify numbers (Heller, Rogers & Perry, 1990) and letters (O'Boyle, Van Wyhe-Lawler & Miller, 1987, including Braille: e.g. Hermelin & O'Connor, 1971Wilkinson & Carr, 1987) or haptically assess and discriminate between object properties including: thickness (Cormier & Tremblay, 2013), roughness (Tomlinson, Davis, Morgan & Bracewell, 2011), curvature (Squeri et al, 2012), shape (Fagot, Hopkins & Vauclair, 1993a;Fagot, Lacreuse & Vauclair, 1993b), or hardness (Morange-Majoux, 2011) for various objects. For instance, O'Boyle et al (1987) traced capital letters onto the palms of individuals and found that accuracy was higher when the letter was traced onto the left hand.…”
