Just like any learning the ability to develop our sences. The writings on tactile learning seem to point to a means to learning. I am thinking more on the lines of the awareness you gather if you cannot see. I taught a girl who was blind and I recognised her abilities to feel object. She felt the surface tapped the object and amassed so much information about things we take for granted. I feel as a potter and artist we by choice home into these intelligencies.
