cerebral cortex--sensory areas

2. somatosensory association cortex
Lies just posterior to the primary somatosensory cortex and has many connections with it. The major function of this area is to integrate sensory inputs (temperature, pressure, and so forth) relayed to it via the primary somatosensory cortex to produce the understanding of an object being felt: its size, texture, and the relationship to its parts. For ex: when you reach into your procket your somatosensory association cortex draws upon stored memories of past sensory expieriances to percieve objects the objects you feel as coins or keys. Someone with damage to this area could not recognize these objects without looking at them.
