tactile

Examples of tactile in the following topics:

• Learning Styles

  • The four most common learning styles are visual, aural, reading/writing, and kinesthetic/tactile.
  • Kinesthetic/Tactile learners process information actively through physical means.
  • Kinesthetic learning refers to whole body movement while tactile learning refers only to the sense of touch.
  • Most students that do not perform well in school are kinesthetic/tactile learners.
  • Claire is a kinesthetic/tactile learner.

• Texture

  • Texture refers to the tactile quality of the surface of an art object.
  • Texture in art stimulates the senses of sight and touch and refers to the tactile quality of the surface of the art.

• Somatosensory Receptors

  • There are various types of tactile mechanoreceptors that work together to signal and process "touch."
  • There are three classes of mechanoreceptors: tactile, proprioceptors, and baroreceptors.
  • There are four primary tactile mechanoreceptors in human skin: Merkel's disks, Meissner's corpuscles, Ruffini endings, and Pacinian corpuscle; two are located toward the surface of the skin and two are located deeper .
  • Meissner's corpuscles, also known as tactile corpuscles, are found in the upper dermis, but they project into the epidermis .

• Tactile Sensation

  • Meissner's corpuscles (or tactile corpuscles) is responsible for sensitivity to light touch.

• Sensory Registers

  • Very little is known about tactile (touch), olfactory (smell), and gustatory (taste) SRs.

• Trigeminal (V) Nerve

  • The sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is to provide the tactile, motion, position, and pain sensations of the face and mouth.
  • The sensory function of the trigeminal nerve is to provide tactile, proprioceptive, and nociceptive afference to the face and mouth.

• Art and Illusion

  • Tactile illusions are illusions that exploit the sense of touch.
  • Some tactile illusions require active touch (such as the movement of the fingers or hands), whereas others can be evoked passively (for example, with external stimuli that press against the skin).
  • One of the best known passive tactile illusions is the cutaneous rabit illusion, in which a sequence of taps at two separated skin locations results in the perception that intervening skin regions were also tapped.

• Animal Communication and Living in Groups

  • Animals communicate using signals, which can be chemical (pheromones), aural (sound), visual (courtship displays), or tactile (touch).
  • These signals are chemical (pheromones), aural (sound), visual (courtship and aggressive displays), or tactile (touch).

• Educational Implications for Learning Styles

  • Does your class have very few kinesthetic/tactile learners?

• Pitches

  • The keyboard is great for helping you develop a visual, aural, and tactile understanding of music theory.
