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.
