The average localisation error between perceived and actual position of a touch on the skin

The smallest pressure that can be detected half of the time

The size of the receptive fields that limit spatial acuity

The minimum distance at which two points on the skin can be reliably distinguished from one point

The maximum distance between two points that can be reliably detected as one object

Are affected by the length of time between the first and second touch

Are dependent on the size, but not density of mechanoreceptor receptive fields

Are highest on the face and lips

Are the same across different observers, as long as the same region of the body is tested

Are highest on the fingertips
