Bender at test. Thank you York University participated in studies of double simultaneous tactile stimulation. In the course of these investigations we developed a concept that the perception of two simultaneous stimuli was a learned procedure, achieved by most adults within 10 trials or the test. New In various populations failure to discriminate the two stimuli was common, especially in young children, severe mental defectives, aged, and most interestingly in adults with altered brain function regardless of cause. That is, adult patients with organic mental syndrom fail to diecrinw inate the stimuli within 10 trials. We have found this test so useful that we described such failure in adults as an index of the organic mental syndrome. In studying the responses of children and mental defectives we came to the conclusion that the ability to discriminate the two stimuli was to develop between the S and 7 year of life and was highly correlated on mental test examinations with a mental age of 6 years. We thus concluded that the face hand test as a satisfactory index of mental age above or below 6 or 7 years. �-2- I am enclosing a list of references which indicate the early publications of this date.
