Abstract
⺠Young children do not integrate visual and haptic information: one sense is dominant. ⺠The dominance may reflect cross-sensory calibration by the more accurate sense. ⺠Non-sighted children show very poor haptic perception of orientation but not size. ⺠Children with movement disorders show poor visual perception of size but not orientation. ⺠This last result may reflect lack of cross-sensory calibration of vision by the haptic system.
