They are familiar feelings that we sometimes forget about, and few of us realize that our lives depend on our sense of touch. Touch is the first sense babies develop while in their mothers womb(子宫). In fact, it is the memory of being surrounded by warm liquid that makes babies want to be held or wrapped in soft blankets. Like all our senses, touch depends on a special organ. Other sense organs, like eyes, ears, nose and mouth, are located in one place. But the touch organ is the skin, our biggest organ, which stretches over our whole body.

Scientists have also studied how touch influences brain growth. Babies who are rarely touched often have much smaller brains than babies who get lots of hugs and attention, and they may develop behavior problems as they grow up. In the 1950s a psychologist did an experiment on baby rhesus monkeys(猕猴). He took the monkeys away from their mothers and put them into cages with two fake mother monkeys. One was made of wire and had a milk bottle tied to it. The other one was made of wood, covered in terry cloth, and did not have a milk bottle. The psychologist thought the monkeys would go to the wire mother because it had food. However, he saw that the monkeys held onto the terry cloth mother for hours, preferring the feeling of warmth and softness over food.
