Tactile defensiveness: negative reaction to tactile stimuli; Visual perceptual deficits: poor form and space perception and visual motor functions; Somatodyspraxia: poor motor planning (related to poor information coming from the tactile and proprioceptive systems) Auditory-language problems
Stereognosis (Tactile Gnosis) is defined as the ability to tell the difference and identify objects via touch in the absence of visual or auditory contact. The subject will need to be able to recognize temperature, spatial properties, texture, and size to reach an accurate conclusion to what the object is. [ 13 ]
TACPAC (derived from "tactile approach to communication package") [1] is a sensory communication resource using touch and music to develop communication skills.It helps those who have sensory impairment or communication difficulties.
Sensory design aims to establish an overall diagnosis of the sensory perceptions of a product, and define appropriate means to design or redesign it on that basis. It involves an observation of the diverse and varying situations in which a given product or object is used in order to measure the users' overall opinion of the product, its positive and negative aspects in terms of tactility ...
Cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS), also called Schmahmann's syndrome [1] is a condition that follows from lesions (damage) to the cerebellum of the brain. It refers to a constellation of deficits in the cognitive domains of executive function, spatial cognition, language, and affect resulting from damage to the cerebellum.
Thigmotaxis (from Greek thigma, "touch" meaning contact with an object, and taxis, "arrangement, order", meaning reaction by movement [1]) is a behavioral response to tactile stimuli, typically referring to an organism's movement in response to physical contact with surfaces or objects. For example, animals, when placed into a new enclosed ...
Hyperesthesia is a condition that involves an abnormal increase in sensitivity to stimuli of the senses.Stimuli of the senses can include sound that one hears, foods that one tastes, textures that one feels, and so forth.
Two-point discrimination (2PD) is the ability to discern that two nearby objects touching the skin are truly two distinct points, not one.It is often tested with two sharp points during a neurological examination [1]: 632 [2]: 71 and is assumed to reflect how finely innervated an area of skin is.
