Abstract
Perception of size and perception of pain were studied in a group of right-handed and a group of left-handed subjects. For right-handed subjects a significant relationship was found between these two types of perception in that subjects who tended to underestimate size with the dominant hand also had a higher pain threshold for that hand as compared with the non-dominant hand.Keywords
