Having to do with the sense of touch as a learning channel (Association for Children with Learning Difficulties, 1998)
Tactile experiences or sensations are received or felt by touch. Babies who sleep with their parents receive much more tactile stimulation than babies who sleep in a cot
Something such as fabric which is tactile is pleasant or interesting to touch. Tweed is timeless, tactile and tough
Learners who comprehend by doing They prefer to use their hands and touch to develop new skills
If you describe someone as tactile, you mean that they tend to touch other people a lot when talking to them. The children are very tactile with warm, loving natures
information and interpretations derived from the sense of touch This involves the skin's contact with an object as well as sensations that approach the skin, such as pressure, wind, and temperature The skin is the primary tactile organ and it has many different kinds of receptors for receiving sensations or touch, pressure, texture, temperature, pain, and movement of the skin hairs The tactile system is the largest sensory system and it plays a vital role in human behavior
Meissner's corpuscles (or tactile corpuscles) are a type of mechanoreceptor. They are a type of nerve ending in the skin that is responsible for sensitivity to light touch. In particular, they have highest sensitivity (lowest threshold) when sensing vibrations lower than 50 Hertz. They are rapidly adaptive receptors
Kinesthetic learning (also known as tactile learning) is a learning style in which learning takes place by the student carrying out a physical activity, rather than listening to a lecture or watching a demonstration
