Sensory Side Issues

Sensory. Just what is sensory? Well the obvious is sense of touch, for sure.

But, a whole bunch of other stuff is sensory as well.

With your eyes closed, where is your left great toe? Point to it. That obvious knowing of where that and the other parts are located is called proprioception as was the guidance in pointing.

Pull an elastic and hold it stretched. How much tension is this pull? How did you know when to stop?

Dip a spoon in water. Then feel it. How warm is that?

Feel the electric clock. Is that thing vibrating?

Have somebody spell a word or draw a shape on your palm with your eyes closed. What was written? Was it a circle or a heart shape? Can you draw a happy face in the air with your eyes shut? Your are sledding down a hill with eyes shut. Can you tell when the hill levels out? Can you tell about how fast you went? Can you tell when to put your feet down because you are about ready to hit those trees again?
