Haptics. Haptic perception

Somatosensory system
Epidermis: outer layer
Dermis: deeper layer, mechanoreceptors

Mechanoreceptors

receptor	response type	perception
Merkel	continuous (slowly adapting)	fine details
Meissner	responds to change (rapidly adapting)	hand-grip control 手柄控制
Ruffini	continuous	stretching n. 伸长；展宽
Pacinian	responds to change	vibration, texture by moving finger

continuous: fire to continuous pressure
responds to change: fires to on and off

tactile acuity n. 敏锐；尖锐；剧烈 and merkel receptor density

Memory

memory requirements

types of memory

• sensory memory
  milliseconds to several seconds
  specific for each sensory modality
• short term memory/working memory
  20-45s
  small pieces of information
  recognition simpler than recall
• long term memory
  transfer via repetition and learning
  slower, larger storage capacity
  storage in a context

model of working memory

phonologic loop语音环
visual-spatial notepad视觉空间记事本
episodic buffer情节缓冲
central executive中央执行
