What is lelationship between two poin discrimination and tactile localization?

Two point discrimination is quite an old technique. The skin is touched simultaneously with two points, various distances apart. If the two points are sufficiently close together, they are perceived as one point. The threshold distance for this effect varies across the body, and can be taken as an indicator of the sensitivity and/or receptor density on that part of the body.
In tactile localisation studies, the skin is touched at various points, on a body part that is out of sight of the participant. The participant then has to indicate (by pointing at a picture of their arm, or clicking on an image on a computer screen) where they think they were touched. It turns out that people aren't that good at this; in fact, some interesting biases emerge.

Two-point discrimination refers to the ability to perceive two distinct points touched on the skin, while tactile localization is the ability to pinpoint where on the body a touch occurs. Both are tactile sensory functions related to the precision and accuracy of sensory perception. An individual with good two-point discrimination may also have good tactile localization skills.

What is the relationship between accuracy of subject's tactile localization and results of two point discrimination?
On your fingertip you were closer, on your forearm you were slightly farther away. (don't write this part on your paper, buuuuut be sure this is consistent with what YOU noticed in lab) Your nerve receptors are closer on your fingertip because you were able to sense more.
What was your hypothesis for the tactile localization activity?
Your teacher does not want to hear the hypothesis from some random person on the internet. The idea is for you to form your own hypothesis - just put down what you guessed would happen and be honest about it instead of trying to cheat.
