[edit] X percents of what did what?

Remland and Jones (1995) studied groups of people communicating and found that in England (8%), France (5%) and the Netherlands (4%) touching was rare compared to their Italian (14%) and Greek (12.5%) sample.

What does these numbers refer to? They're pretty nonsensical without a definition. --85.231.180.45 (talk) 18:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This page is a mess

This page is a mess with two/three areas vying for the word haptic(s) The area may be better described in three sections

  • Haptic_communications alternatively Haptic_behaviour

To contain most of what is currently on this page (Haptics)

  • Haptic_perception (ie the use of haptics in the psychology of perception)

Possibly the introductory page since Gibson (1965) and Titchner (1895) Amer. Jrnl. Psychol. VIII. 82 were both using the word well before the usage currently outlined on these pages.

  • Haptic_technology
