Substitutes for the thermal experience Such clues from other senses can become so strongly associated with a sense of coolness or warmth that they can occasionally substitute for the thermal experience itself.

Similarly, the pressure of heavy blankets conveys a feeling of warmth quite independent of their actual thermal qualities.
