Do senses other than vision and hearing affect the reading process? If so, how? If not, why not?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Answers will vary but responses should cover the following:Yes: tactile, or the sense of touch, as well as taste and smell. Not only do blind readers learn to read using their sense of touch, so do other learners. Concepts develop based on sensory impressions formed in the brain. For example,seeing the printed words apple pie can result not only in a visual image of a pie but also in a recollection of its smell and taste. Of course, to make these associations, the person must have prior experience with the thing named by the words. Because different people have had different experiences with apple pies, and apple pies can vary in smell, taste, and appearance, people will attach different meanings to apple pie. Therefore, individuals will have slightly different perceptions when they encounter these or any other words.
