PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -The term ‘kinaesthesia’ was coined by Bastian (1888) and refers to the ability to sense the position and movement of our limbs and trunk. It is a mysterious sense since, by comparison with our other senses such as vision and hearing, we are largely unaware of it in our daily activities.

Detailed explanation-2: -Proprioception is the group of sensations generated by the body’s own actions. It includes the senses of limb position and movement, the senses of force and heaviness, the sense of effort and the sense of balance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kinesthesia is the awareness of the position and movement of the parts of the body using sensory organs, which are known as proprioceptors, in joints and muscles. Kinesthesia is a key component in muscle memory and hand-eye coordination. The discovery of kinesthesia served as a precursor to the study of proprioception.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kinesthetic sense is the ability to sense movement and the body’s position without visual aid, a talent sometimes referred to as muscle memory. The kinesthetic system is made up of sensory receptors throughout the body, notably proprioceptors, which detect movement and position of joints and limbs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Kinesthesis, also referred to as kinesthesia or kinesthetic sense, is the perception of body movements. It involves being able to detect changes in body position and movements.
