  • The Assessment and Processing of Tactile Sensory Learning

A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment for the Requirements for the Degree Philosophae Doctorate McMaster University © Copyright by Steven Robert Passmore, 2012 PHILOSOPHAE DOCTORATE (2012) McMaster University (Kinesiology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The assessment and processing of tactile sensory learning AUTHOR: Steven Robert Passmore, (Hons) B.Kin. (McMaster University), M.S. (University of Nevada, Las Vegas), D.C. (New York Chiropractic College) SUPERVISOR: Professor Timothy D. Lee NUMBER OF PAGES: xiv, 205 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation examined perturbation effects during complex tactile information transmission. The four experiments provide evidence regarding sensory and information processing demands in early stages of complex tactile learning. Experiment 1 established complex tactile learning behavioural performance. Vibrotactile stimuli representing Morse code letters were communicated to participants with or without induced perturbation to the finger of letter reception. Response performance was measured and augmented feedback was provided retroactively. Perturbation conditions lead to poor performance during tactile acquisition, but improved performance during application of knowledge. Experiment 2 determined if the experiment 1 results demonstrated masking or response competition paradigms. Target “masking” is the reduced ability to detect or interpret a stimuli pattern by presentation of other information (Craig, 1985; Verrillo, 1985). Response competition is the competition or distraction from target response generation by secondary stimuli (Craig, 2000; Bolanowski et al., 2000). Experiment 2 tested response competition by spatially separating the perturbation and tactile information delivery sites.
