Continuity in Tactual-Visual Cross-Modal Transfer: Infancy to 11 Years.

Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F.; Futterweit, Lorelle R.; Jankowski, Jeffery J.

Developmental Psychology, v34 n3 p435-40 May 1998

Examined, over a 10-year span, continuity in individual differences in cross-modal transfer to visually recognized shapes that had previously been felt but not seen. Found that cross-modal performance showed a left-hand advantage at 11 years. Cross-age correlations were significant when tactual exploration at 11 years was done with the left hand. (Author)
