Tactile Sense
Tactile perception, or the processing of touch, is an important function of our body. After all, touch is one of the most important senses for learning about the world around us. Sometimes, however, things go wrong with how the central nervous system processes touch. The brain may not register enough input causing a child to be overly rowdy, physical, or clingy. If the brain registers too much input, the child may show tendencies of tactile defensiveness. How the brain processes touch influences how we learn, our awareness of our body in space and time, visual perception, motor planning, academic learning, and social learning.
