sensory processing and interfration as a foundation for human function Flashcards
how many areas does our sensory system consists of
7 ( 8 if you include interception
our sensory system working in a continuous with what to regulate and make sense of sensory information in order to function
feedback loop
who describes sensory integration as : the brain’s ability to organize sensory input for use in functional behaviors.
ayres
what does deficits lie in
the perception,organization,and coordinated response to sensory information.
is sensory processing and integration important for every aspect of human life
yes
do motor skills develop independently of sensory experiences and perception
no
sensory perceptions have connections with what
emotion (lambic system) and the autonomic nervous system
what is sensory integration framework
how to approach the movement of framework
what is the sensory drives motor
sensory
motor
social
behavior
who originated the theory of sensory integration to
explain the relationship between deficits in interpreting sensation from the body and the environment and difficulties with academic or motor learning.
Jean Ayres
proprioception is
information provided by joints and muscles which keeps people oriented to body position in space
properioception is both
conscious and subconscious
what is vestibular
movement processing tells you whether the body is moving and in what direction
the vestibular system operates within the
ear and in conjuncation with visuion
what is the role of vestibular
generating our general muscle tone (vestibular spinal tract)
what are some difficulties in processing vestibular information
low muscle tone
poor balance
undorrdination
toe walking
decrease trunk rotation
lack of visual scanning
define tactile
ability to discriminate touch through the skin
the tactile system includes the ability to
conform to objects and pressure (dorsal colum medial leminiscal tract)
Children with poor tactile discrimination can have
difficulty with what
fine motor skills, including handwriting
what is vision
The eyes and the brain work in tandem to perceive and
separate objects from the background
what other system does vision work in coordination with to orient to movement
vestibular system
vision influences what
eye coordination, visual spatial orientation,
and visual- motor skills
vision has a role in the development of
visual imagery and mental manipulation
children with visual difficulties may be sensitive to the
sunlight , avoid visual attention or hesitate to go on stairs
what does the auditory system discriminate
sounds in the environment
difficulties with the auditory system may result in a
negative response to unexpected or loud noises
difficulty focusing with background noise
Child who pays attention to every noise are
unable to habituate
the auditory system has a strong connection with the
limbic system
A hypersensitivity to tastes and smells can create
a range of feeding difficulties
our olfactory receptions are directly connected to the
limbic system (amygdala, hippocampus)
define interception
the perception of the state of the body
The restrictive meaning holds that only sensations stemming from what are interoceptive
viscera
interceptions includes such things as
pain
hunger
heartbeat
temp
interception is a produce of th e
centerl nervous system
do sensory systems function alone
no
in the sensory modulation dysfunction if someone is over responsive then they are
defensive
int he sensory modulation dysfunction if the person is under responsive then they are
dormancy
people with sensory modulation dysfunction may be reflected in
sensory seeking or sensory avoiding
what are the 2 disorders for sensory based motor disorders
dyspraxia
postural disorder
dyspraxia refers to
motor planning
motor planning is
ideation, constructution and execution
dyspraxia lies mainly in what
the neural activity before motor execution
A person can have adequate neuromuscularor neuromotor function and still be
dyspraxic.
postural disorder is characterized by
poor core strength and endurance
people with postural disorder move inefficiently with
poor balance and poor body awareness
symptoms of postural disorder may include
no internal motivation
poor bilateral coordination
poor ocular motor ability
gravitational insecurity
research supports that there is a decline in what as we age
individual sensory systems and cognitive processing
individual sensory systems and cognitive processing remai correlated from
younger adult to middle adult to older adult
some research support the fact that this is a
increase in multi sensory processing
why is there an increase in multi sensory processing ?
due to decreases salience of sensory input bc of the decline in sensory discrimination
older people who were more efficient multi sensory integrates has a
less risk for falls
sensory integration was related to spatial aspects of gait but not
temporal
