Sock Cue corresponds to which of the following?

Category cues identify the type of object and guide actions by its use. A sock is an item in the clothing category, worn on the feet, so the cue “sock” points to that category and helps prompt the activity of dressing. This isn’t about touch-based memory prompts (tactile memory cue), numbers, or location or space (spatial cue); those cues would be used for different prompts, such as recalling a number, feeling a texture for memory, or signaling where something is. In dressing tasks, naming or presenting the item as a sock reliably cues the patient to wear it, aligning with category cues.
