Chapter 8 Sensory Experience Analysis

When we want to stimulate the child’s senses we start them with the sensory tables. Each table consists of a tub that stimulates a different sense. When you stimulate the senses you help to stimulate the child cognitively, and emotionally as well. This can be achieved through science experiments such as the one we did over the holiday with a pumpkin and what does it smell like and feel like on the first day what about before it is carved vs after it is carved. We do this with all the kids from ages 3 to school age.

Sound waves: Changes in pressure caused by molecules of air or fluid colliding and moving apart again.

Another indoor environment that supports children’s learning and agency is having a craft area set up with different colors and materials and resources giving the children choice and decisions and variety and giving them independence. The area will provide scissors, glue, paper, cardboard, feathers, buttons, beads, and plenty more sensory items. This area will be well organized so that children can select the particular resources and activites that they would like to involve themselves in, once again giving the child agency. This is sending the message to the children that we trust them with their decision and the materials they may chose and when they choose them. Trust is something educators and children need to build with each other in

Students had a variety of sensory items that they could choose from, both in the classroom and the attached school sensory room. Most often, I saw students working with rice buckets, reading select books, bouncing balls, swinging in therapy nets, etc.

I learned quite a bit from taking the senses challenge on the BBC's website. The test is designed to challenge each of the five senses: Sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. The challenge was more difficult than I thought it was going to be. I only got 12 of the 20 questions right on the test. I did not realize how many different things there were that affected the senses.

Sensory receptors detect when a hot spoon touches your skin which is caused by the sensory input. Once the receptors feel the input the nervous system decides what to do about it; this is integration. Motor output is what is done about the input, whether you scream or jerk away from the hot spoon. So the response that you get from the integration is the motor output when is acts upon the body.

According to research sensory-rich experiences are great for brain development in babies through to adults (Gascoyne, 2011, p. 9), (Thompson, 2013). Gascoyne, (2011, p. 9), (Thompson, 2013) also commented “those neuroscientists have also identified a strong link between memory recollections and the sight, smell, and touch senses”. Furthermore both Gascoyne, (2011) and Thompson, (2013) believes that sensory rich play “is an inclusive way to encourage learning and development, as the hands on approach appeals to children with different thinking and learning styles”. She also comments that “sensory activities help bring learning to life generally, but will particularly benefit children with special educational needs (SEN)”. “The open ended ways

The differences between male and female brains and how the work have been a very controversial subject in the science world even in present time. In my project featuring the science of Neurology, the study of the human brain; I will undergo an experiment to see whether male or female have a faster sensory response time. Sensory response, or ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response), is the response in the brain sorting gathered information of sensory such as touch, smell, hearing, taste, and sight by relevant and irrelevant information. The response time is the speed differences in the male and female brain in how it gather the information, sort it, and react to what is given, (Google Search, N.D.). In easier term - My experiment will

I learned so much in Psy201. My favorite topic we covered is Sensation and Perception I thought it was very interesting how your viewpoint can trick you into see something that not really what it seem. Like how three dimensional sidewalk art is created. The image really appears to be three dimensional, but it is produce on a flat surface. The three dimensional images are created using a projection called anamorphosis. Anamorphosis is a distorted projection or perspective requiring the viewer to use special devices or occupy a specific vantage point to reconstitute the image. When the distorted project is used, its creates the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the correct angle.  I will carry this with me, so I can one day

The sensory system plays a crucial role for organisms to survive by detecting environmental cues. In animals, the sensory signaling is largely mediated by chemoreceptors belonging to the GPCR superfamily [21], as well as by ion channels that mediate mechanosensation, thermosensation and others [89]. Chemosensory GPCRs in vertebrates are encoded by several gene families, which includes the olfactory receptors (ORs), vomeronasal receptor type 1 and 2 (VRs 1 and 2), taste receptor type 1 and 2 (TRs 1 and 2), and trace amine-associated receptor (TAARs) [21]. Apart from these, GPCRs also mediate vertebrate vision by means of the Opsin family genes that belong to the large Rhodopsin family (Class A) of GPCRs [90]. Previous evolutionary mining of

One of the topics concerning cognitive process that interest me is Sensation and Perception. Foundational development in sensory and perceptual abilities occurs during infancy and early childhood Sensation is detecting stimuli in the environment and perception is interpreting those stimuli. Researchers have reached the following conclusions about this development during early years:

The location of the observation was at the Community Center (Early Childhood education program) at 11:00am to 12:30pm on April 15, 2014. The meaningful experiences in early childhood education can positively shape children's development. With a teacher is guidance authentic child-art activity can educate enrich young students' learning abilities, encourage positive attitudes toward other children, and more importantly, learn to interact with people around them in the contemporary world. However, art for young students often takes many diversified approaches and emphasizing questionable practices. Observation is a part of meaningful and authentic early childhood art education. Observation enriches children’s experiences in
