Q

Sensory Discrimination

A

The ability of an individual to distinguish between similar stimuli

Q

Reticular Formation

A

A nerve network in the brainstem that plays an important role in controlling arousal

17
Q

Which neural system located below the cerebral hemispheres is associated with emotions and drives?
A. Vestibular System
B. Limbic System
C. Sensory System
D. Motor System

A

B. Limbic System

18
Q

What area of the brain is responsible for all voluntary activities of the body?
A. Cerebellum
B. Medulla
C. Pons
D. Cerebrum

A

D. Cerebrum

19
Q

What is the behavior of noticing sensory stimuli in the environment?
A. Sensory Integration
B. Sensory Discrimination
C. Sensory Registration
D. All of the Above

A

C. Sensory Registration

The brains ability to register and process that sensory stimuli

Hyporeactive; don’t notice sensory stimulation

20
Q

Gravitational Insecurity

A

Inability of the central nervous system to regulate vestibular input resulting in overreaction to changes in head position and movement during ordinary activities

Behavioral manifestations may include intense fear or avoidance of:
riding on toys
heights
gross motor activities

21
Q

True/False
Tactile defensiveness distinguishes different textures by touch.

A

False
Tactile discrimination distinguishes different textures by touch.

22
Q

Who created Sensory Integration Theory?
A. Jane Eyre
B. A. Jean Eyre
C. A. Jean Ayres
D. None of the Above

A

C. A. Jean Ayres

Credited with having the first identified sensory integrative dysfunction

23
Q

Dyspraxia

A

Difficulty with planning movements, especially complex or new movements

24
Q

Tonic Labyrinthe Reflex (TLR)

A

Extensor tone neck/UE/LE increases with flexion

Flexor tone increases with move into extension

Parachuting

25
Q

Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR)

A

birth to 4-6 mo. Arm and leg on face side extend; arm and leg on skull side flex (or experience increase flexor tone)

26
Q

Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex (STNR)

A

extension of neck produces extension of arms & flexion of legs; flexion of neck produces flexion of arms & extension of legs

27
Q

Spinal Galant Reflex

A

Triggers: If a baby is lying on its tummy, stimulation of the back to the side of the spine will result in hip flexion towards the side of the stimulus

28
Q

Moro Reflex

A

Reflex in which a newborn stretches out the arms and legs and cries in response to a loud noise, an abrupt change in the environment, or dropping of head into neck extension
