    Boys with hyperactivity showed more tactile-sensitive behaviors and poorer tactile discrimination. This study offers objective data for understanding tactile sensitivity in children.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric neurology
    • Developmental psychology
    • Occupational therapy

    Background:

    • Tactile defensiveness is a common sensory processing issue in children.
    • Hyperactivity is often associated with sensory processing challenges.
    • Objective measurement of tactile sensitivity behaviors is needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare tactile-sensitive behaviors in hyperactive versus nonhyperactive boys.
    • To investigate the correlation between tactile sensitivity and tactile discrimination.
    • To provide an objective basis for recognizing tactile sensitivity.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Tactile Sensitivity Behavioral Responses Checklist.
    • Administered the Southern California Kinesthesia and Tactile Perception Test battery.

  • Analyzed videotapes of 15 hyperactive and 25 nonhyperactive boys using Mann-Whitney U test.

    • Main Results:

    • Seven out of nine behavioral response categories showed significant differences between hyperactive and nonhyperactive groups (p < .05).
    • A significant negative correlation was found between tactile sensitivity and tactile discrimination in children who completed the tests.
    • Findings support the hypotheses regarding increased tactile sensitivity in hyperactive boys.

    Conclusions:

    • Hyperactive boys exhibit more tactile-sensitive behaviors than their nonhyperactive peers.
    • Tactile sensitivity is inversely related to tactile discrimination abilities.
    • The study provides a validated, objective method for assessing tactile sensitivity in children.
