Sensory Processing
What is interpreting light, touch, pressure, temperature, pain and vibration through skin contact receptors?
Tactile
identifying objects through proprioception, cognition, and the sense of touch
stereognosis
eliciting an involuntary muscles response by sensory input
level of arousal
using large muscles groups for controlled, goal-directed movements
gross coordination
interpreting stimuli originating in muscles, joints, and other internal tissues to give information about the position of one body part in relation to another
Proprioceptive
identifying the excursion and direction of joint
kinesthesia
moving body parts through an arc
range of motion
identifying person, place, time and situation
orientation
moving limbs and eyes across the midsagittal plane of the body
crossing the midline
Interpreting stimuli from the inner ear receptors regarding head position and movement
Vestibular
interpreting noxious stimuli
pain response
demonstrating a degree of tension or resistance in a muscle at rest and in response to stretch
muscle tone
identifying familiar faces, objects, and other previously presented materials.
recognition
using a preferred unilateral body part for activities
laterality
interpreting stimuli through the eyes, including peripheral vision and acuity, awareness of color and pattern.
visual
acquiring an internal awareness of the body and the relationship of body parts to each other
right-left discrimination
demonstrating a degree of muscle power when movement is resisted, as with objects or gravity
strength
focusing on a task over time
attention span
coordinating both body sides during activity
bilateral integration
interpreting and localizing sounds, and discriminating background sounds
auditory
recognizing forms and objects as the same in various environments, positions, and sizes
form constancy
sustaining cardiac, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal exertion over time
endurance
starting a physical or mental activity
initiation of activity
conceiving and planning a new motor act in response to an environmental demand
praxis
