Ascending lingual vibrotactile thresholds were obtained for 110 Ss under test-retest conditions. Each condition included two different threshold criteria for frequencies 200 and 400 Hz, respectively. Although differential threshold responses were observed between frequencies, means and standard deviations remained consistent for both conditions. Reliability coefficients indicated good intra-subject consistency for successive threshold measurements.
