Throwing of a ceramic cylindrical vessel: How height is affected by sensory deprivation

This paper presents preliminary results of sensory deprivation of one of the senses (visual, auditory, or tactile) during the shaping of a cylindrical vessel on a potter´s wheel. Although there were no significant results between the three types of deprivation, i.e. when one of the three senses was attenuated or deprived (test condition), the results showed significant differences in the final height of the cylinder between the control condition (all the senses were used) and the test condition.
