Q

What 3 ideas does sensory integration postulate?

A
  1. Learning is dependent on ability of individuals to perceive sensory information and use this info to guide behavior
  2. Deficits in this ability will affect planning and producing behavior
  3. Provision of opportunities for enhanced sensory intake within context of meaningful tasks will improve the deficits

Q

What are the 3 steps of sensory integration?

A
  1. Receive the input through different senses
  2. Brain registers the input
    (orientation/habituation)
  3. Adaptive response to the input (pay attention/ flight/ ignore)

Q

What is modulation?

A

Regulates the neural message about sensory stimuli and organizes the degree, intensity, and nature of our responses

i.e. lack of modulation would lead to applying to much pressure on a pencil and breaking it
