15 normal speaking Ss were tested on tasks of oral-form recognition, interdental thickness discrimination, and interdental weight discrimination. A significant correlation (p < .05) obtained between form identification and weight discrimination. Means, SDs, and range of performance for each of the three tasks are provided.
