ABSTRACT
Vision often appears to determine the way we perceive the world. However, touch is the sensory modality that verifies the reality of what we see by allowing us to confirm the physical presence of objects and people around us. Vision may prompt us to make contact with an object or person but, by touching, we reinforce the subjective impact of that object or person. For example, we may decide to touch an object on the basis of its appearance (looks interesting) but the final sense of the object will also be based on its feel (feels good).
