[Coding/Determinants] T

Aliases

T
pure texture
texture only

Definition

T is coded when the response depends on texture without enough form support.
The tactile or surface quality is the central determinant and form does not truly organize the percept.

Conditions

The response grows out of a tactile or surface quality.
There is not enough form support for FT or TF.
Texture must be clearly stated by the person.
If inquiry shows secondary form organization, reconsider TF.

Cautions

T is not just any sensory wording; real determinant-level texture use is required.
If depth or relief is primary, review scoring-input/determinants/V.
If the dominant experience is vague or diffuse shading, review scoring-input/determinants/Y.
If form organizes the object, pure T no longer fits.
