摘要

In addressing the character of the haptic system, James Gibson (1966) noted, The study of useful sensitivity, as distinguished from theoretically basic sensitivities, is only just beginning (p. 116). Whereas the preceding 150years had gotten mired in an inventory of isolated sensations, the ensuing 50years have revealed a good deal about the capabilities of a perceptual system that detects information about the self, the environment, and self-environment relations by means of muscular effort. That research is summarized with special attention to the kind of medium that could ground the useful dimensions of haptic sensitivity.
