Figures & data
Figure 1. Means and standard deviations for the valence ratings of the younger (18–30 years) and older females (60–90 years).
exp = touch administered by experimenter; part = touch administered by participant; affective = touch with CT-optimal velocity (3 cm/s); nonaffective = touch with CT-nonoptimal velocity (30 cm/s); 9 = very pleasant
Figure 2. Means and standard deviations for the valence ratings of older females with lower and higher tactile acuity in the CT-optimal and CT-nonoptimal touch conditions.
lower tactile acuity: two point-discrimination ≥4 mm; higher tactile acuity: two point-discrimination <4 mm; CT-optimal velocity (3 cm/s); CT-nonoptimal velocity (30 cm/s); 9 = very pleasant
