title: Relationships of oral stereognostic ability to age and sex of children.
abstract: A battery of items testing oral stereognostic ability was individually presented to 168 children, 12 boys and 12 girls at each of seven age levels from 4-5 to 11-4. Age was significantly related to oral stereognostic scores; older subjects scored significantly higher than younger subjects. Sex was also significant; girls scored higher than boys.
