A VARIETY!

Question 9

Practice:

Question 13

Change is produced through __________.

Answer 13

physical activity.

• evidence of improved muscle tone, muscle strength, and ROM
• increased production of neurochemicas –> report of mood change

Question 14

Motivation is demonstrated when ___________.

Answer 14

the client spontaneously accepts the challenge to become active in life. Enhanced by experiences of success or pleasure. May be negatively affected by unrealistic expectations, loss of understanding of performance ability.

Question 15

What is the role of the therapist in in this FOR?

Answer 15

Directive! Communication is through imitation and role modeling. Therapist attempts to plan through “just right” challenge. Guides individual/group while taking cues from them.

Question 16

When initially implementing the sensorimotor FOR the therapist should:

Answer 16

a. assess/observe sensory patterns
b. decide if sensory pattern requires integration or modification
c. help client understand their reaction

Question 17

After initial implementation and observation, the client should treat by doing he following:

Answer 17

a. teach client to modify enviornment to fit sensory preferences
b. Design interventions to identify coping strategies to overcome uncomfortable environments
c. integrate sensory deficits that require integration

Question 18

Examples of alerting stimuli include:

Answer 18

bright light, colors, sounds, rapid rhythms, uneven sounds; pungent odors, cold/hot foods and liquids, crunchy, strong flavors; light touch, sudden touch, rapid movement, rotation or changing directions, jumping/hitting/clapping

Question 19

Calming stimuli include:

Answer 19

low light, pastel colors, smiliar hues, soft melodic sounds, slow even rhythms, closing your eyes; sweet or herbal smells, smooth textures, mild flavor, temperature foods; steady moderate pressure, slow rhyhmic movement, holding on, hugging

Question 20

What is bioenergetics best for?

Answer 20

Best for depression (not those that are violent), as well as PTSD. Breathing and movement like yoga.

Question 21

Who helped to discover that autism is closely related to schizophrenia?

Answer 21

Lorna Jean King

Question 22

LJ Kings use of sensory integration in groups must:

Answer 22

1. emphasize the motor process of the activity not the object or the outcome of the activity
2. the activity must be pleasurable, evoke SPONTANEOUS smiles, laughter, and feelings of fun

Question 23

Who expanded LJ Kings sensory integration?

Answer 23

ROSS. He added 5 group sessions including the following:

1. acknowledgement of each member (5min)
2. maximum exertion (15 min)
3. perceptual-motor activity, less vigorous motor activity and more judgement, more than 30 minutes to complete
4. Cognitive stimulation- discussion of previous activity, can include memory games, etc. (10min)
5. resolution and termination- next meeting, summary of events

Question 24

Who has a wider approach to sensory processing than Ayers?

Answer 24

DUNN.

Question 25

In Dunn’s Sensory processing, what is centrifugal control?

Answer 25

the ability of the brain to regulate its own input. This is done in 3 ways.

1. Suppression: tuning out some stimuli so that others become easier to attend to
2. Divergence: sending a signal to multiple parts of the brain
3. Convergence- bringing together input from multiple sensory systems

Question 26

Dunn’s sensory processing patterns include:

Answer 26

1. Low Registration ( individuals who miss or tend to take longer to respond to stimuli)
2. Sensation Seeking ( individuals who seek high intensity environments and experiences)
3. Sensory Sensitivity (individuals who respond readily to any stimuli and may experience distractibility or discomfort with stimuli)
4. Sensory Avoiding (individuals who are overwhelmed or bothered by stimuli others would find noxious)

Question 27

Generally, what is the profile of juvenile offenders?

Answer 27

High sensation avoiding and low sensation seeking
