Q

Type of smell

A

Sensing odours and discrimination

17
Q

Types of Proprioceptive

A

Position in space, Kineastehsia

Right and left discrimination

18
Q

Define position in space

A
  • aware of body in the internal and external space
19
Q

Define Kinaesthesia

A
  • receipt of information from receptors in muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments enables detection of the excursion and direction of joint movement
  • = PERCEPTION OF MOVEMENT
20
Q

Define Right and Left Discrimination

A
  • Differentially between one side to the other

- Need to know where its right or left

21
Q

Types of Touch

A

being Touch

discriminate textures

22
Q

Define being touched

A
  • The ability to perceive contact with the skin
23
Q

Define discriminate texture

A
  • Various textures and being able to tolerate the textures
24
Q

Types of pain

A

localised and generalised

25
Q

types of temperature and pressure

A

Thermal awareness

forced applied to skin

26
Q

Define thermal awareness

A

Thermal awareness

- Ability to sense heat and cold

27
Q

Define Force applied to skin

A

force applied to skin

  • Force or pressure against the skin,
  • Is pressure being applied to the person or is the person applying pressure to an object
28
Q

Types of Multi-sensory processing

A 
visual-motor integration 
spatial relations 
spatial operations 
visual closure 
figure ground 
depth perception 
stereognosis
29
Q

Define visual-motor integration

A
  • Coordinating the interaction of information from the eyes with body movement during activity
30
Q

Define spatial relations

A
  • Determine the position of objects relative to each other
31
Q

Define spatial operations

A
  • Mentally manipulating the position of objects in various relationships
32
Q

Define visual closure

A
  • The process or ability to fill in missing parts of a visual stimulus
33
Q

Define figure ground

A
  • Differentiating between background and foreground shapes and objects.
  • A client with a figure-ground deficit will have difficulty visually distinguishing a figure
34
Q

Define depth perception

A
  • Depth perception: “Determining the relative distance between objects, figures or landmarks and the observer, and changes in planes or surfaces”
35
Q

Define stereognosis

A
  • Without the use of vision, the ability to identify sizes, shape and weight of familiar objects using tactile, proprioceptive information and cognition
