Abstract
Apparatus for studying vibrotactile communication is described. 5 electromechanical transducers were used to transmit coded signals to S. A modified Howell (1956) system was used. 5 body loci not previously used with this system and a 50‐trial programme showed that S was able to receive signals with a high degree of accuracy. Significant increases in learning occurred between the first 5 and the second 5 trials. The findings of Howell who used a similar display but 5 different body loci under more exacting conditions were confirmed.Keywords
