  2. Haptic perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_perception

    Haptic perception (Greek: haptόs "palpable", haptikόs "suitable for touch") means literally the ability "to grasp something", and is also known as stereognosis. Perception in this case is achieved through the active exploration of surfaces and objects by a moving subject, as opposed to passive contact by a static subject during tactile perception. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology

    Haptic puzzles have been devised in order to investigate goal-oriented haptic exploration, search, learning and memory in complex 3D environments. [ 88 ] [ 89 ] The goal is to both enable multi-fingered robots with a sense of touch, and gain more insights into human meta-learning.

    This dominance is seen again through a visual-haptic task that vision is capable of making better judgements of an object that physically touching it. [6] It has also been determined, that there are certain amounts of visual capture that occur depending on the task, sometimes allowing the visual system to be entirely dominant, while others ...

  6. Haptic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_memory

    Haptic memory is the form of sensory memory specific to touch stimuli. Haptic memory is used regularly when assessing the necessary forces for gripping and interacting with familiar objects. [ 1 ] It may also influence one's interactions with novel objects of an apparently similar size and density.

  7. Sensory cue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_cue

    In addition to the interplay of haptic communication and nonverbal communication, haptic cues as primers have been looked at as a means of decreasing reaction time for identifying a visual stimulus. [20] Subjects were placed in a chair fitted with a back which provided haptic cues indicating where the stimulus would appear on a screen.

  8. List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_roots...

    First, prefixes and suffixes, most of which are derived from ancient Greek or classical Latin, have a droppable vowel, usually -o-. As a general rule, this vowel almost always acts as a joint-stem to connect two consonantal roots (e.g. arthr- + -o- + -logy = arthrology ), but generally, the -o- is dropped when connecting to a vowel-stem (e.g ...

  9. Perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception

    The process of recognizing objects through touch is known as haptic perception. It involves a combination of somatosensory perception of patterns on the skin surface (e.g., edges, curvature, and texture) and proprioception of hand position and conformation. People can rapidly and accurately identify three-dimensional objects by touch. [22]
