Editing Stimulus modality (section)

===Use in clinical psychology===
Tactile stimulation is used in clinical psychology through the method of prompting.  Prompting is the use of a set of instructions designed to guide a participant through learning a behavior.  A physical prompt involves stimulation in the form of physically guided behavior in the appropriate situation and environment.  The physical stimulus perceived through prompting is similar to the physical stimulus that would be experienced in a real-world situation, and is makes the target behavior more likely in a real situation.<ref>Miltenberger, R.
