contactive

Involving or pertaining to direct physical contact.

Contactive memory, the recollection of the surfaces or forms which we have palped or handled .

We may imagine, that traces of organic substances, mixed with the hydrocyanic acid, gradually decompose it by a contactive process; and that sulphuric acid hinders the process by charring these matters.

Implying direct or physical contact.

Thus the proposed definition explains why the suffixes -aa and -vaa sometimes fail to signal the contrast between contactive and non-contactive causation.

This causation may be principally of two kinds, "distant" and "contactive".

Serving to initiate contact; introductory.

Contactive language resembles ritual language in its formulistic character ( " How are you," "What's new?" etc. ) but differs in its tone and purpose.

Slightly more complex than impulsive patterns are contactive patterns. Contactive patterns are most frequently used when we are attempting to initiate "contact" or gain the attention of another person.

Produced by the contact of air with an object (such as the sound produced by blowing over the lip of a bottle), as opposed to being produced by vibrations on the part of an object.

Articulate sounds, when made pulsative, are heard aloud; when made merely contactive, without vibration of the windpipe, they produce a whisper.

Contiguous but not coordinated

In a complex distribution, if both of the contactive units are chains, there can be a reduction in the total of inferences only if one of the chains is in a simple distribution with a third chain and the interval is unoccupied.
