These results suggest that the associations between tactile signals and visuospatial representation is maintained once it is accomplished during infancy. Some research studies have also found that the subjects showed reduced deficit in tactile temporal order judgments when the arms were crossed behind their back than when they were crossed in front.
The results suggest that the link between tactile sensations and spatial awareness remains strong even after early childhood, as evidenced by studies showing that individuals with crossed arms behind them performed better on tasks involving tactile temporal order judgments than those with arms crossed in front.
