What is Proprioception?
Correct answer: Your brain's ability to sense where your limbs are.

I love to keep on learning, great quiz!

Anyone who takes this for granted has never lost this ability. For someone with MS grabbing something without looking makes us look drunk or clumsy. Be grateful you have this ability and take it for granted 🙏

No, that’s wrong!! It’s how the brain realizes our whole body 3D orientation ! Not just the limbs!
Player :: SQinfoNUTS
This includes more than our limbs. It also includes where we are in relation to other things, how fast we are moving, in what position are body is in and a vast array of other things not covered. The explanation given indicates an awareness of where our limbs are in space. Were that the case why did you include our face?

FlyingWeasel81661, sorry...see also:
Phantom pain is pain that feels like it's coming from a body part that's no longer there. Doctors once believed this post-amputation phenomenon was a psychological problem, but experts now recognize that these real sensations originate in the spinal cord and brain.

after a 40' fall in 1989 I lost this ability from the chest down... you never know how important it is until you loose it... eventually the spinal cord and brain adapt and mine still are after 30 years... never take simple things like this for granted, thanks for the game and knowledge... I never knew the correct term.... t-bo

i love this game, we are learning not just from the questions and descriptions given but also from the comments of the players. healthy discussions and some arguments are good, it tells us more about the topic.

MaxTheAxe, "your body carries around a detailed awareness of where your body parts are at all times" it says it in the description so they aren't wrong

How many people found themselves touching their nose when they were reading this? Ha ha ha ha

Anyone else ever experience feeling like your limbs aren't where you know they are? or that your body is really expansive? It happens for me occasionally, when I'm trying to sleep when I'm overtired. I've also read that it's more common in people who get migraines.

I learned that here the last time I saw the same question. Many questions are repeated here. Minor criticism.

I keep learning, that’s why I keep playing! I love it!

Hello
There are four types of proprioception: the senses of position and movement of our limbs and trunk, the sense of effort, the sense of force and sense of heaviness.

There's Soo many "Small & Simple" body functions that we take for granted until we lose the function of them!

GeGe, I’m sure you’ve already been told this,but tens machines are helpful.(I also have phantom pains,but over the years this has eased them quite considerably.DONT know if this is medically correct,but it seems like Its like it retrained the brain to a different sensation)

Player #MacDane, well said

never heard of this but it's interesting
Mah
MaxTheAxe, that was just an example!!!!

Interesting term. I've been calling it spatial awareness for years.

OnzeWereld, My 54 yr old son lost a leg to osteogenic sarcoma when he was 8. The docs told him that phantom pain would stop after a while but he still has it 46 years later. It isn't as often as it used to be but is still irritating. It definitely isn't psychological. I honestly hadn't looked to see what the latest thoughts were but originating in the spinal cord & brain sounds logical.

When the original game "Mirror's Edge" came out, I remember reports of it causing nausea by messing up people's sense of proprioception, what with it being a first person parkour game where you could see your arms and legs onscreen.
AndyAlwysSmiling
FlyingWeasel81661, Me too, I like that I keep learning! So is this related to kissing your “Honey’s” mouth in complete darkness. I was gone for awhile but I am back. This just older youth is in love with this game. It gives me warm fuzzies all over knowing I am not as dumb as I look. I learn from the comments and those mind games are great too. Hats off to the developers. Thank You!

I have answered this question twice now. New ones need adding.

The only thing I can think of is that the first time you see a cat in a picture is when they are in a cage and they are in a box and they are in a room

Oh yeah, it is also very useful when you're doing acupuncture too. Or so I heard.
Reindeer
I never even knew this word exsisted !
Shirley
GingerQ, yep! That’s what I did!
Shirley
OnzeWereld, My sister lost both her legs and one arm and always had the sensation that her limbs were there. Her leg would itch, or her arm.
MAO
This game is incredibly educative as well as informative.
