Tactile play and playful massage are a normal interaction between adults and children in many cultures. Experimental data show that activation of the C-tactile system during such playful touches contributes to children’s socialization and the establishment of psychoemotional bonds in the parent-child dyad. However, comprehensive studies of the effects of different types of touch on perception of tactile stimulation in children have not been conducted before. Twenty-three children participated in the present study: 10 in the preschool age group and 13 in the elementary school age group. Children in both groups received play massage containing different types of touch with simultaneous recording of electroencephalogram (EEG) and heart rate. EEG processing included determination of spectral power, alpha rhythm peak frequency and fractal dimension. Analysis of the results showed that the relaxing effect of the procedure was more pronounced in children of primary school age, which can be explained both by the greater maturity of the CNS and the greater need for tactile contact, which is not realized in the school environment.

Тактильные игры и игровой массаж во многих культурах является нормальным взаимодействием между взрослыми и детьми. Экспериментальные данные показывают, что активация С-тактильной системы во время таких игровых прикосновений способствует социализации детей и установлению психоэмоциональных связей в диаде «родитель-ребенок». Однако комплексных исследований влияния различных типов прикосновений на восприятие тактильной стимуляции у детей ранее не проводилось. В настоящем исследовании приняло участие 23 ребенка: 10 человек в группе дошкольного возраста и 13 человек в группе младшего школьного возраста. Детям в обеих группах проводился игровой массаж, содержащий прикосновения различных типов, с одновременной регистрацией электроэнцефалограммы (ЭЭГ) и частоты сердечных сокращений. Обработка ЭЭГ включала в себя определение спектральной мощности, пиковой частоты альфа-ритма и фрактальной размерности. Анализ результатов показал, что расслабляющий эффект от процедуры был более выражен у детей младшего школьного возраста, что может объясняться как большей зрелостью ЦНС, так и большей потребностью в тактильном контакте, который не реализуется в школьной обстановке.
