A battery of items testing oral stereognostic ability was individually presented to 168 children, 12 boys and 12 girls at each of seven age levels from 4–5 to 11–4. Age was significantly related to oral stereognostic scores; older subjects scored significantly higher than younger subjects. Sex was also significant; girls scored higher than boys. The interaction of age and sex was not significant.
