Sensory defensiveness

What is perception? Perception is the process of recognizing and interpreting sensory stimuli. Perception can be defined as our recognition and interpretation of sensory information. Perception also includes how the response to this information. Perception can be thought of as a process where sensory information from the environment is taken in and that information is used in order to interact with our environment. Perception allows us to take the information in and make it into something…

When describing an object there are always many things overlooked. To properly observe something you must use all the senses available. The senses of touch, smell, taste, sight, and sound are useful in describing something that is completely foreign. When touching a football glove the many different textures can be overwhelming. The palms have a smooth texture but they also feel tacky, to help them catch a ball. The back of the hand has a soft fabric that is padded to help protect from an…

In a recent study, scientists from Rockefeller University and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) were able to show that humans can discriminate more than 1 trillion olfactory stimuli thus, clarifying earlier misconceptions which claimed that humans could only approximately discriminate 10, 000 . To conduct this experiment, researchers used 128 odorous molecules to create scented mixtures that contained 10, 20 or 30 different components and then they asked 26 participants, out of whom 17…

when a sense is disrupted by damage or inadequacies. The human body can heighten or dampen sensory response. The bodies five senses cross signals sending out a myriad of responses that result in sounds having tastes and words having colors. Synesthesia is a product of signals crossing in response to stimulation from the environment leading to automatic, involuntary and unusual experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway (Psychology Today, 2017). Results are subjective to each individual…

After school was over with. [Name] stays to write down some notes down about the Karasuno volleyball team, since your father did ask you to point out some of their weaknesses. Your father, Coach Ukai already knows that you have a really good visual on noticing things and especially spotting out on weakness in players. [Name] have been developing having good visualization, since she was a child. You would go with your grandfather, Ikkei Ukai to go watch him coaching the old Karasuno…

Age-related senses involve sensory changes that occur when the aging process takes place. All senses can be affected, includes hearing loss and vision decrease which is the most affected changes in the senses along with smell, taste, and touch. When the aging process takes place senses become lessened, and it becomes harder to Differentiate details. Sensory changes in an older person can play a big role when it comes to problems with communication, certain activities, and social interactions.…

to understand how the concept of similarity is embedded within the nervous system (Carpenter, 2001). Although scientists have developed methods of testing and profiling synesthetes much of the theoretical framework used to understand cross-modal sensory perception remains speculative (Rockland, 2016). This condition is so unique even scientists question it, which is why I find synesthesia so interesting. There are still many unanswered…

Imagery is described as visually descriptive or figurative language, especially in a literary work. William Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet is one of his most famous works, and it is no stranger to figurative language. Throughout the play, light and dark imagery are used prominently to show emotions, namely heartache and lust. Both in good times and bad, Shakespeare peppers his story with mentions of torch and fire, night and stars, each with its own hidden meaning. Imagery is used…

Children with sensory processing and autism spectrum disorder were the key words used to search the UNF OneSource database. This research compared the home and the school sensory processing challenges. I continue to be curious about how students act while in the two settings and compare the students’ behavior to each other. 2. Earlier research assisted in identifying sensory processing as how “the central and peripheral nervous systems manage incoming sensory information from sensory organs”…

It doesn’t matter where you are, you will always be observing a scene, whether you realize it or not. When going to the location I chose, it was odd trying to think about everything I needed to observe. Usually these observations are things I don’t pay attention to, but I do them anyway. As human beings, we observe with our senses. Our senses include sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. These senses aren’t always on our mind when we go to different places, unless of course one of them stands…
