^ My data from the experiment. Experiment Directions ogh one person to be the subject for Trial 1, one or two people to be the experimenter(s), and one recorder. With the subject's eyes closed or looking away, the experimenter sets the divider (ruler with two points) wide aparthe experimenter places both points of the divider gently on the back of the subject's hand. tne experimenter asks the subject how many points are felt. If the subject says "2", slide one of the points of the divider closer to the other at small increments (distance between the two points is now smaller) and repeat unul the subject says "1". Now move the points back out just by 1mm and test again; the subject should say "2". Record this distance. Every once in a while (randomly), touch with just one point - so that the subject's response of "1" or"2 is actually reliable. 3. 4. Perform two more trials (two more people) following this procedure. Repeat Step 1 with the remaining parts of the body indicated below. Two-point threshold (mm) (i.e. the distance where they last said 2 because if the two pts are any closer, they can't tell the two apart) Trial 1T Location Trial 3 Average Trial 2 23 m Back of Hand Palm of Hand Back of Neck i mm ,to1 mm mm Calf of Leg 3 mm 20 mnm 0 m

Explanation / Answer

If body part have high threshold value, then part will have low density of sensory receptors and larger receptive fields.
