Summary/Abstract: Finger localization and finger gnosis development are investigated in 188 children coming from 5 different age groups. The children are administered by the 60-item Benton finger localization test and by a finger gnosis neuropsychological task. The data are compared to those of Benton and Wake and discussed in detail. The analysis of the development curves show a marked improvement in finger localization ability within the studied age range and underscore the important role the integration of sensory information plays. The rate of finger names acquisition is somewhat slower and uneven especially within the youngest age groups.
