The subject was 8 general students （a general student group）, 10 computer club students （PC student group ; composed of members who used their fingertips for five hours or more for a day）, and 5 blind school students （a blind school student group）. At first, we investigated the characteristics of vibrations from the long cane to evaluate vibrotactile sensibility. Next, a static two-point discrimination test, moving two-point discrimination test （the distance of two points : 2, 3, and 5mm）and two-point vibrotactile discrimination test （the distance of two points : 2, 3, and 5 mm, the diameters of contactor : 0.5, 0.8, and 1.0 mm, the dominant frequencies of long cane were 30, 125, and 250Hz）were used to evaluate vibrotactile sensibility. As a result, in the static two-point discrimination test and moving two-point discrimination test, when the distance of the two points was 2 mm, only two people in the general student group were not able to detect the two point's stimuli （75% . When the distance of the two points was 3 and 5 mm, all subjects were able to detect the two points' stimuli（100%）. In the distinction in the two-point vibrotactile discrimination test, when the dominant frequencies of long cane were 30Hz, there was an interaction between the three groups and the diameters of contactor （P＜0.05）. A significant difference was seen among the three groups and the diameters of contactor （P＜0.05）. At 125 and 250Hz, significant difference was seen among the three groups and the diameters of contactor （P＜0.05）. It was shown that the ability of tactile sensibility was high in order of a general student group, PC student group, and blind school student group. 　It seems reasonable to conclude that using the fingertip for a certain purpose more frequently enhances the discriminability of two-point vibration.},
