what is stereognosis

1 answer

Stereognosis is the ability to perceive and recognize objects solely through touch and manipulation, without relying on visual or auditory information. It involves using tactile sensations to gain an understanding of an object's size, shape, texture, and other physical attributes. People with intact stereognosis can identify objects by touch alone, such as picking up a key and recognizing it as a key without seeing it. It is an important ability for everyday tasks, such as finding and manipulating objects in the dark or recognizing items without visual cues.
