This study investigated the individual variability in oral tactile sensitivity considering touch, by means of Von Frey Hair monofilaments (VFH) and spatial resolution, using the grating orientation test (GOT). The relationships of the two measures with 6‐n‐propylthiouracil (PROP) responsiveness and...
