First of all, we define that as a tactile sensation.This form of the sensitivity of the skin caused by skin receptors work in two forms: capsules, consisting of connective tissue cells, and plexus nerve endings that surround the hair follicles.These sensations are diverse - depending on what they are caused by: a touch pressure, vibration, texture or effect duration.
more common is such a thing as a "touch", which is synonymous with "tactile feedback."This is one of the five basic senses, which has a healthy person.
Touch - one of the first feelings that are formed in humans at birth.Psychologists have concluded that many of our abstract concepts "grow" from these primary perceptions.With the help of American scientists who conducted a series of studies in this area, it was found that tactile sensations affect our status and behavior.For example, a feeling of heaviness activates the idea of "importance", "serious", roughness associated with difficulties and anxiety.
US scientists studying the tactile sensations, conducted a series of interesting tests.For example, they asked passersby to evaluate resume one of the candidates for the job, but the essence of the test was quite different.Some subjects received separately on a thin, touch-paper, the other exactly the same resume got in a heavy folder and got acquainted with him standing.The results were such that the subjects who received "heavy" job, described the candidate as a man of serious, experienced.Subjects with "easy" paper gave the response to the applicant as unreliable, but easy to communicate, pleasant.
Other interesting test, saying that tactile sensations strong influence on our subconscious, was conducted with chairs.Subjects on the hard and soft chairs had to haggle with the car dealer.Those who felt the comfort of an easy chair, became more compliant.Those who sat on a hard chair, were adamant in price and trade more efficiently.
From these tests it can be concluded that the decisions, thought processes and other brain activity strongly influenced by our senses, and in particular the sense of touch.Especially with this familiar psychologists, marketers, sales consultants, business coaches and others closely related in their profession with the manipulation of people.
Surely you've noticed in stores, it is preferable, and reliability of any product before you buy touch - it gives some information about it.Look for a product is not always enough in obtaining information.For this reason, such a very popular supermarket self-service customers.
Overall sensations are divided into several types.There is a definite classification of sensations: the location of receptors on the leading analyzer for interaction and receptor stimuli.Of course, there are other classifications, but this is the most popular.
Talking about the kinds of human feelings, it is worth mentioning distant (these include the sense of smell, hearing and vision), contact (pain, taste, tactile, vibratory, kinesthetic, etc..), Deep (muscular, vestibular sensitivity, dizziness, etc.. d.) A person deprived of any kind of sensation is its substitution of another by increasing the sensitivity.For example, blind people have more developed ear than healthy and deaf develop their tactile perception.All kinds of sensations closely interact with each other and depend on each other.
