This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Controlled comparison by Tsoerum Ling of fifteen blind pupils at the Iowa School for the Blind with fifteen Iowa City high-school pupils of approximately the same age, on six measures of touch, hearing, and kinaesthetic sense. The article reports the thresholds are "about the same for the seeing group as for the non-seeing group", with variations fairly distributed on both sides.

"The threshold of sensory discrimination in each of these six measurements is about the same for the seeing group as for the non-seeing group."
