One of the words in the linked list is "proprioception", and the contributor gives a mistaken definition.

Actually, proprioception is the body's sense of the condition of muscles and nerves, so that the person feels where his arm is, for instance, or how hard he is kicking a ball, how hard the muscles have to work to pick up an object. This goes along with the other senses, such as vision, hearing, sense of heat, sense of cold (those are separate), feeling of pressure (as when someone presses on your skin) and so forth.
