Abstract: Some previous studies have shown that healthy adults can rapidly and accurately identify everyday articles using only tactile information. This study assessed whether laterality effects could potentially influence the tactile object recognition ability for everyday articles. We tested 34 right-handed Japanese young adults who used either their left or right hand. The participants recognized 100 everyday articles without difficulty, regardless of the hand they used. These results might be useful for reference data in assessing patients suspected to have tactile agnosia.
