Tactile Memory

Tactile memory is the brain’s ability to remember touch sensations, such as texture, pressure, or temperature, even after the stimulus is gone. It helps us recognize objects by touch alone, like feeling a key or a piece of fabric without seeing it. This form of sensory memory connects our skin and nervous system to our brain, allowing us to recall tactile details and respond appropriately. Tactile memory plays a role in everyday activities, from identifying objects to developing fine motor skills and honing our sense of touch through experience.
