The brain seeks information primarily by directing individuals to look, listen, smell, touch and taste. It is important to note that the experience of any event is almost always multi-modal involving the sensory and motion systems (Freeman, 1991, Thelen & Smith, 1997). It has been found that therapeutic touch (Krieger, 1997) is effective in decreasing anxiety. These multi-modal products address sight and touch and are effective in reducing anxiety, boredom and also serve as a tool in training for eye-hand coordination and also improve finger strength and dexterity.
