Science behind the Brain and Its Impact on the Mind The brain is the most complex organ in the entire human body. It is responsible for the regulation of motor function, the body’s capacity to balance, and the ability to translate information sent by sensory organs. The mind is described as the faculty of consciousness and thought, where our feelings and emotions originate from. It can be implied that the science behind the brain may overshadow some facets of the mind, such as free will and…
review paper is to analyze the use of proprioception training in individuals who have suffered a cerebrovascular accident, most commonly referred to as a stroke. As defined in the textbook (Coker, 2013), proprioception is “the continuous flow of sensory information received from receptors located in the muscles, tendons, joints, and inner ear regarding movement and body position.” A stroke can affect various areas of the brain, including those involved in balance and coordination. As a result,…
Humans are endowed with an astounding sensory system. The human body, in addition to the amazing functions that it performs to keep itself alive, has an incomprehensible system for gathering and processing its environment. The five senses, taste, smell, touch, sight, and hearing, all contribute greatly to the way we perceive the world around us. Our ability to sense our surrounding is a major part of what sets us apart from inanimate objects such as rocks. Lacking all of your senses puts you in…
Perception begins when the human brain receives data from body’s five senses touch, sight, taste, smell and hearing. Knowledge and experience are extremely important for the concept, perception, this is because they help us make sense of the input to our sensory system. Without being able to organise and interpret sensations, life would be just black and white, meaningless. Most of the time, what we perceive as our reality is what we want to perceiver but, this is not always the because…

Our intervention approaches for James will include establishment and prevention. We will focus on establishing client factors and performance skills. Client factors will include sensory functions and movement functions (AOTA, 2014). Performance skills will include motor and process skills (AOTA, 2014). Also, we will prevent any further contractures along with preventing environmental distractions. James may have a hard time attending to task due to overstimulation of the visual or auditory…
In today’s world, many students learn in diverse ways, however, some classrooms have not adapted to the multiple ways in which students learn. An example of the ways of learning is what Fleming (1995) recognizes as visual learners, auditory learners, reading and writing as well as students who learn better with kinesthetic techniques. These techniques can be utilized within the classroom to help student retain information better and to allow them to learn comfortably. Many students are able to…
The seven senses – sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch, proprioception, and veromal – are invaluable to my performance in life.
