TABLE 2.

Classification of haptic strategies.

Strategy Definition
Dynamic tracing (%) Object Tracing—discrete aspects of the object examined. Corners, lengths, and edges of the object actively explored while leaving the objects stationary
Static hold (%) Hand Coverage—Hand placed over objects to apprehend fits entirety or may grab it without moving or lifting
Palpation (%) Touching the object in a non‐descript manner (i.e., moving the object, orienting it, knocking it over, and feeling to grasp it.)
Lift (%) Elevating the object off the table with manipulation
Match (Y/N) Putting two objects side by side for comparison
Rotation (Y/N) Rotating the objects around the x, y, or z axis while keeping the object on the table or in the air
Revisiting (Y/N) Feeling, touching and/or manipulating one block more than once per question
Exclusion (Y/N) Moving a perceived incorrect match away from their comparators

Note: The % indicates the relative percentage of time spent depicting these behaviors per question while the binary Y/N indicates whether the behavior was expressed.
