Sensory Adaptation 1. As a Muslim woman I wear a headscarf, and due to the hours and hours that I have a scarf on my head, I sometimes forget it is even there! One day I came home, and since I was in my own home I could take off my scarf, however I continued wearing my scarf for hours. Finally, my mother asked, "Haneen, why are you still wearing your scarf?" I was confused for a second, until I touched my head and realized that I was, in fact, still wearing my scarf, and I didn't even realize it…

Informations from the world will be represented and stored.Some theories hold that memory is a network of nodes that associate connections among them. Memory is broadly classified into Sensory memory,Short term memory & long term memory.Sensory memory is the memory that retains representations of sensory input for brief periods of time. While short term…

Elder care includes the planning of meals for the elderly. This can be challenging as there are several factors that can cause a depression in the appetite of an elderly person. Seniors may also experience drastic changes in their digestive pattern that may make it difficult for them to consume certain things. It is important to consider these when planning meals. The eating habits and appetites of elderly people can be affected by a number of factors including the difficulty of preparing a…

How can our sensory channels influence other sensory channels? Our senses and how we perceive certain stimuli is an important factor when we try to make sense of the world around us. The Stimulus around us sends information to different parts of our brain in order for us to feel, sense, taste or hear the things that we do. Even more interesting though is how our sensory channels can influence another sensory channel unconsciously. For instance, like in a movie theater when you are watching the…

Sensory Processing Disorder involves a continuous interaction between the environment and the brain to perceive information through the seven senses (auditory, olfactory, tactile, visual, gustatory, proprioceptive, and vestibular) and create an appropriate response (Byrne, 2009; Katz, 2006; Miller et al., 2009; Parham & Mailloux, 2015; Walbam, 2013; Withrow, 2007 as cited in Goodman-Scott & Lambert, 2015, p. 275). This neurobiological process is critical in the first ten years of life because it…

issue with sensory processing because of their difficulty to understand others causes the perceptual overreactions (Gilberg 51). Autism possibly having an effect on intelligence is a controversial topic. This is considered a controversy because there is no concrete proof that ASD directly impacts intelligence. During the research I found three possible answers that show how autism may affect intelligence. The brain functioning of someone on the autism spectrum can cause some intellectual…

1. a) Define Deuteronopia. b) What causes it? c) Why is it more frequent in males than females? d) Contrast the two types of receptor cells in the retina, and describe the retina’s reaction to light. Deuteranopia is when someone is colorblind, which results from the exposure to green light, causing the person to be confused, mixing up the colors as green, red, and yellow. Color blindness is caused by the green sensitive cones. In addition, deuteranopia is caused by a genetic condition where…

challenge supplied by the British Broadcasting Company to test my abilities and regards to my main sensory modalities. I achieved 100%, my first try, on the test. I was not surprised by the fact of my grade as the test was easy for me. The easiness isn 't due to the inability to accurately conduct the senses challenge online or the gullibility of the test taker but due to the fact I was raised in a sensory enhancing environment. The North Dakota environment influenced each of my senses in a…

When something we touch is bad for us we all want to be able to feel it and pull away as fast as we can to not cause trauma to our skin or even worse, the trauma is so bad that it ends up in death. Tactile perception is a very important part to us humans and animals and without it we wouldn’t be here. Tactile perception is the sense of touch. It also has to do with the brain’s ability to perceive what is being touched. Touch is a complex system called the somatosensory system; the sense that…

“Perception is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information so that it makes sense” (King, 2016, pg. 97). The perception of the bird with its connection to water “makes sense.” The kingfisher is living, therefore it needs water to drink and to bathe in. The color coding of the bird’s feathers…
