Mr Potato Head Eye Coordination

They have many different puzzles at their disposal and their teachers are always there to play with them. Building a castle with blocks and keeping it all in a line and not allowing it to fall is a great way to work on fine motor skills. Making sure that the puzzle pieces in the wooden dinosaur puzzle fit into the correct space and turning it until it reaches the correct position. These are all little ways that we help tune the fine motor skills.

Eye movement desensitization and reprogramming, or EMDR, therapy is a controversial treatment forcing on people with post-traumatic stress disorder. In order to treat the trauma related problems, this method of therapy focuses on having the patient reliving the distressing event in order to think it is in a more logical and structured way. In Bruce Bower’s article EMDR: promise and dissent: new research enters debate over a highly touted trauma therapy – eye movement desensitization and reprogramming, he takes the readers through a typical therapy session by explaining that, “ A session of EMDR usually lasts about 90 minutes. The client first thinks about the earlier trauma and comes up with an image from the incident. He or she then chooses a current negative belief that goes with the image and a desired positive attitude toward it. A sexual abuse survivor, for instance, might come up with “I am damaged for life” and “I’m safe now,” respectively.” One unique aspect of EMDR is how this technique incorporates the use of body through rapid side to side eye movements and alternating sounds or taps on a series of body points. As the participant imagines the trauma and discussing the emotions and stress levels, the therapist simultaneously conducts the particular sensation to body such as holding up two fingers and moving them back and forth.

To better understand learning, the research and experimentation was conducted by a student. The purpose of this study was to examine a novice learner performing a skill, in which improvement, retention, consistency, adaptability and stages of learning would be tested. The individual chose juggling three beanbags for the skill to be learned. The subject had to learn how to juggle three beanbags at once using both hands. Practice was completed in one way to keep consistency; this included throwing small beanbags standing up in the same room. Hypothesis of the experimenter suggested greatest improvement of skill in the beginning to middle of testing. Learning would be accomplished. An increase in practice time and

Fine motor control allows infants to exercise their hand muscles which helps them to play with toys. Some atypical behaviors are keeping hands closed without opening them and not grasping when objects are placed in the palm of the hand.

Eye contact builds a level of trust with the other person. It also projects confidence and communicates your level of attraction.

What if there were a test that people could take and be able to determine if they had cancer or a disabling disease, and would someone believe the results if they were 77% accurate. Now just imagine that being a jury member on a driving under the influence trail and the prosecutor and the officer state with confidence and validated tests that the defendant is guilty, they like myself would want some proof. There are tests that are given to individuals that prove this aspect of a driving under the influence arrest. If a person is stopped by law enforcement for suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs they will be given three standardized field sobriety tests while on

Fine motor therapy focuses on helping the child control their fingers, hands, and arms. This is very important, as fine motor skills are used in daily life. Some good activities for children developing fine motor skills include coloring, writing, and cutting items with safety scissors. Video or tablet games may also help your child develop fine motor

Although the little girl in this picture is very cute, I did make some observations right off the bat. The first three things that I observe in this picture is that the little girls finger is in her nose, it looks like an older type of picture, and it seems that she is getting a professional picture taken. Her finger in her nose demonstrates that she is a young child and she is most likely trying to be funny or she is getting bored with sitting there. She looks like she is about kindergarten age so it does not seem untypical for her finger to be in her nose. I notice it seems to be an older picture. Things that make me think this is even though it is in color it is in a shade of pink. When I say this, I mean that there isn't much difference

While “Bugs in the Kitchen!” isn’t something you’d normally want to hear, this fun, educational game teaches children real-time puzzle solving by employing skills such as spatial intelligence. Although there is no teamwork aspect to the game, there is plenty of interaction and laughter! Kids are additionally challenged to think on their feet as the meandering Hexbug® nano® (small, motorized “insect”) quickly scuttles around the board.

Amblyopia is also known as the lazy eye, and it is when one or both of the eyes do not develop correctly. When children are born they do not have good vision they develop their vision through their early years of life usually from birth to six years of age. This disease affects around 4% of children in the world.

Fine motor skills are the movements made with the small muscle of the hand (Jan, Beth & Melissa, 2012). A 3 year old child gets better in their fine motor skill (Jan, Beth & Melissa, 2012). They are able to move their fingers independently and have better spatial awareness; therefore, these children can engage in more complex tasks such as using a scissor, the first cutting skills start at the age of 3 (John, 2009). Children of this age should be able to unbutton a shirt or eat with a fork without assistance (John, 2009). They can also complete and insert puzzle pieces, picking up small objects with the thumb and

Toni Morrison’s novel the Bluest Eye shows the reader that motor mimicry contributes to a vicious cycle of women diminishing their self-worth. Through the comparison of Pecola and her mother Pauline, both conform their actions to the mimicry of societal downcast. To survive and avoid life challenges through mimicking Pecola, and Pauline retract further into a life of fantasy. Pauline dives into the realm of movies, while Pecola fantasizes of her new blue eyes in order escape the impending feeling of an outcast.

When giving a small snack or toy to Emily she used her index and thumb to grab it. She also knew when not to use it such as when handing her a larger item. Using her index finger and thumb she was also able to feed herself.

During small group time the teacher had some pre-cut Easter eggs out with all kinds of different colored lines and zigzags on them and each child got to pick out which egg they wanted then they got to chose from a variety of different colored tissue paper that they wanted on their eggs. The child then put glue in the area that she wanted the tissue then they crumble it up in their hands into a small ball then place it on the egg until the whole area is covered with tissues paper. This activity shows fine motor skill in three examples the first being putting glue on the egg because it takes the muscles in your hands and wrist to control where the glue go and to squeeze it enough that not too much comes out of the bottle. The second example is

A few examples of Fine Motor activities displayed during the early years include handwriting skills, drawing pictures, making objects out of clay, and even cutting with scissors. Each of these activities is characterized by including the small-muscle developments that involve finger-thumb coordination, hand-eye coordination, and the development of muscle strength in the hand and arm. All in all, motor skills are an important part of the learning process, and as these “fundamental motor skills are learned...[they] serve as the foundation for more specialized motor skills that will be
