Neuropsycholo-gia 44:1063-1070 This article showed intact implicit memory for objects explored haptically without vision in normal older adults and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. In contrast, the explicit recognition of AD patients was highly impaired compared to healthy older adults.
2. Millar S (1999) Memory in touch. Psicothema 11:747-767. In this article, Millar reviewed a series of studies dealing with short-term memory for stimuli presented to touch. She noticed that haptic spans are shorter than visual spans and explained this result in terms of the paucity of reference information to organise inputs spatially. Movements are also important as they can be used in haptic rehearsal.
