Haptic Communication - The Unspoken Dialogue

Chippy Susan Bobby

Abstract

Touch is the earliest sense which is developed in the foetus. Although a very important form of nonverbal communication, the significance of touch in our lives often goes unnoticed and is very often taken for granted. However, the impact of touch in a person's life is tremendous and can play a vital role in the holistic development of an individual. Thus, touch behavior is very significant because learning them can really improve our communication and help in understanding others. Learning to improve our communication through proper use of touch behaviors will put us in a better position by communicating effectively everywhere we go. Therefore, Haptics is a subject which needs to be explored and understood.
