Document Summary
You are making yourself a midnight snack, a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of milk, when the electricity goes out. Not to be discouraged by the power outage you continue with the task. Describe the haptic perception and exploratory procedures involved in order to complete your snack, clean up the kitchen, and ingesting your snack. When the electricity goes out, the rods will be activated and adapt to the dark environment within minutes. Although we can use our eyes to see things in the dark, it is still not efficient as to using haptic perception. With the help of our cognitive map (the map of our familiar surroundings in our mind, ex. we know where the kitchen and washroom are in our home), we use our hands to explore in the dark. We would probably need to find a knife, a plate, a cup, peanut butter and bread in the drawers and countertop to begin with.
