Term | Active and Restful |
Definitions | UM classifies two main kinds of sensory experience, which represent two sides of a spectrum: Active and Restful. Active can happen on its own spectrum from subtle or neutral to intense and/or complex. For instance, the touch of the clothes on the skin as compared to the sound of a foghorn. Restful can happen on its own spectrum from not much detected to detecting the complete absence of sensory experience. For example, noticing that your body feels relaxed as compared to noticing that your torso doesn’t seem to be there at all because you can’t detect any sensation in your torso.
Active and Restful can also be contrasted relative to each other, in terms of amount, as in more or less sensation (for example, my hands are restful as opposed to active because I don’t detect much sensation there). But they can also be contrasted by the type of sensory experiences, which show up differently in each sense category. Active Experiences:
