Abstract
The investigation evaluated the reliability of lingual vibrotactile thresholds obtained across two baseline conditions separated by an average of 14 days. Each baseline condition included three awareness training procedures as well as determination of the median of three vibrotactile thresholds. Results indicated a high degree of individual and intergroup threshold consistency. The authors view the technique as a possible screening procedure for general diagnostic use with adults. A discussion featuring specific future research needs is included.
