Effects of the Item Presentation Methods and Test Trials on Euclidean Distances and Location Learning via the Tactile Sense

Although a tremendous backlog of research on sensory processes has accumulated since Aristotle’s doctrine of the five senses, the focus of said research has favored vision over all other senses (cf. Rock & Victor, 1964). Audition is a far removed second. Following this typical pattern, both the formulation and tests of the identity model primarily involved the sense of vision (Part 1 of this chapter) and to a much smaller degree, auditory presentations (Part 2 of this chapter).
