Sensory Processing

Angela Labrie Blackwell, Lauren Little, Winnie Dunn · 2024

This chapter introduces how sensory responses in everyday situations can affect behavior. Sensory patterns tell us how each person notices and responds to sensory events in everyday life (Dunn, 2014). Research indicates there are four patterns of sensory processing: avoiding, sensitivity, registration, and seeking. Everyone has particular ways of responding to sensory input, including teachers, parents, and students. We know that people with developmental conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder, have more intense reactions than peers, which is one reason why individuals with developmental conditions may respond differently to situations. However, some people in the general population also have more intense experiences, so it is critical for educators to acquire knowledge and skills about sensory responses so they can create the most effective learning for their students. When everyone understands how behavior and sensory patterns interact, we can interpret student actions more precisely so we can make changes to support school performance. In this chapter, we introduce the core concepts of sensory patterns. The authors illustrate how these patterns present in everyday experiences. It is important to remember that sensory patterns are characteristics that define people’s experiences; they are not something to be fixed, but rather understood so we can meet students’ learning outcomes.

Sensory Processing

Eduardo E. Benarroch · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2021

Sensory information reaches the cerebral cortex via several parallel channels that involve different receptor subtypes, sensory pathways, and first-order thalamic relay nuclei, which then relay modality-specific inputs to the primary sensory cortex. From primary sensory areas, information is first processed by unimodal (modality-specific) sensory association areas organized into two parallel streams; a dorsal stream for processing of visuospatial information via the posterior parietal cortex to guide attention, motor behavior, and spatial navigation, and a ventral stream for processing of object feature information via temporal lobe for object recognition. Impairment of these pathways at subcortical level or primary sensory cortex produces modality-specific sensory loss, involvement of association areas manifest with visual spatial neglect, and several forms of agnosia.

Sensory Processing Differences

2014

All of the information we receive comes to us through our senses, and to receive it we need two things: 1) working sense organs, 2) for the information that our sense organs deliver us to reach the brain at a level at which it can be taken in. An easy analogy for this is listening to music. When you

Sensory Processing Sensitivity

Elaine N. Aron, Arthur Aron, Jadzia Jagiellowicz · Personality and Social Psychology Review · 2012

This article reviews the literature on sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) in light of growing evidence from evolutionary biology that many personality differences in nonhuman species involve being more or less responsive, reactive, flexible, or sensitive to the environment. After briefly defining SPS, it first discusses how biologists studying animal personality have conceptualized this general environmental sensitivity. Second, it reviews relevant previous human personality/temperament work, focusing on crossover interactions (where a trait generates positive or negative outcomes depending on the environment), and traits relevant to specific hypothesized aspects of SPS: inhibition of behavior, sensitivity to stimuli, depth of processing, and emotional/physiological reactivity. Third, it reviews support for the overall SPS model, focusing on development of the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) Scale as a measure of SPS then on neuroimaging and genetic studies using the scale, all of which bears on the extent to which SPS in humans corresponds to biological responsivity.

Sensory Processing Sensitivity

Hanne Listou Grimen, Åge Diseth · Perceptual and Motor Skills · 2016

The aim of the present study was to examine the factor structure of a Norwegian version of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS) and to investigate how sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is related to personality traits of neuroticism, extraversion, and openness and to subjective health complaints (SHC) in a sample of 167 undergraduate psychology students. The results showed that the variance in a shortened version of the HSPS was best described by three separate factors: ease of excitation (EOE), aesthetic sensitivity (AES), and low sensory threshold (LST). Furthermore, the result showed than an overall SPS factor (EOE, LST, and AES combined) was predicted positively by neuroticism and openness and negatively by extraversion. With respect to SHC, the results showed that EOE and LST were positively associated with psychological health complaints. However, the personality trait of neuroticism contributed more than the SPS factors as predictor of SHC. In conclusion, the present study supported a shortened version of the HSPS and its relation to personality factors and SHC.

Sensory Processing Challenges

Halima Maulidi · Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics · 2015

Sensory processing refers to the way the nervous system receives sensory messages and turns them into appropriate motor and behavioral responses. Significant dysfunction may result when the responses are inappropriate. Research estimates that 1 in every 6 children may be significantly affected by sensory symptoms. Despite this, sensory issues are not widely recognized or well understood beyond those with expertise in sensory assessment and intervention. Lindsey Biel is a pediatric occupational therapist working in New York. She therefore writes from experience in this field. This is her second book in this specialty. A number of books have been written about sensory processing challenges (SPC). What is different about this one is that it is targeted not just at parents and therapists but also at clinicians, pediatricians, and teachers. The purpose of this book is to identify SPC and to empower practice by providing strategies that help at home, in the classroom, and in the community. The first part of the book covers the basics, describing the different senses, how they mesh together, and factors that can affect the sensory experience. Lots of examples are offered to increase understanding. The writing is done such that it flows seamlessly. Biel uses biological underpinnings to describe how those with SPC interpret their sensory world. The book provides screening sensory processing questionnaires, which are also available online at no cost. The questions in the screening tools are not age specific. I suspect this will reduce their effectiveness especially in the very young. The questionnaires are also not validated; and therefore, are not diagnostic tools. They do help provide a description of a child's sensory world. Most of the book focuses on strategies for management of SPC including multidisciplinary involvement. Biel does not provide evidence behind the management strategies used. Although research in this field is limited, presenting available research on outcomes would add weight to the interventions. This is not to say that the book is not well referenced. I found the book to be well written. Biel uses a lot of patient vignettes to illustrate examples. However, the use of more extensive patient histories detailing the baseline behavior would have made a more realistic illustration as I struggled to be convinced at times that the source of the child's behavior was not anxiety or learned behavior. Biel acknowledges that SPC can be a manifestation of other developmental and behavioral disorders rather than a single stand-alone diagnosis. The book does not get into this debate but rather focuses on educating the reader on how to recognize signs of SPC. The book opened my eyes to aspects of the sensory experiences, which most people take for granted. Issues such as synesthesia, monochannel processing, auditory flooding, etc., are discussed along with their functional impact on behavior, development, and social interaction. The advice given is practical and addresses everyday situations in a variety of settings. Recommendations are given regarding adaptive equipment, which may be useful. Commercially available options such as specific chairs and toys may not be available in low-resource setting, and the author does not address this. The book is written in a Western cultural context. Other social groups may struggle to apply suggested strategies and tools to their specific circumstances. In summary, Linsdey Biel has written an informative educational book to help parents and those working with children understand sensory processing and recognize instances when it goes wrong. Whether one is a believer in SPC as a discrete disorder, you cannot help but respect at how skillfully she describes the reality for those with these challenges. Biel should be commended for reaching out to a wider audience about this topic. Everyone working with children should consider reading this book to understand how SPC may affect a child's behavior and what they can do about it. Ultimately, regardless of the underlying diagnosis, some children do have significant sensory challenges and the focus should be on improving their quality of life and function. Reading this book is a great starting point. I will certainly use and recommend strategies from the book as part of my practice.

Sensory Information Processing

Jr Stockham, G. Thomas · 1975

Abstract : Section I of this report discusses the theoretical underpinnings of a new mathematical model describing some of the perceptual characteristics of human sensory information processing. While much of the mathematics of the proposed model is explained here, experimental testing and verification has yet to take place. This work will continue to be pursued under alternate funding. Section II discusses in detail the background considerations necessary to understand the problems of removing atmospheric turbulence blur from images. This area of research is currently in transition from the stage of artificial computer models, to the stage of working with the simplest real data, i.e. case of a point light source, a star, viewed through the earth's atmosphere. After the termination of this contract this work will be funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research under grant number 77-3212. Section III reports the background and progress to date on building the tools necessary for an image understanding system. These tools as described were incorporated into a manual image understanding system designed to do analysis by synthesis. The system handles two-dimensional single objects on non-textured backgrounds, but only at the level of a trial testbed. Necessary next steps in developing a working system are outlined.

Sensory processing disorders.

Judith Reisman · PubMed · 2002

Most people are able to effectively process and respond to the sensory stimuli of daily life. But people who have sensory processing disorders struggle to form meaningful responses to sensory stimuli. As a result these individuals often exhibit problems with coordination, sensory-seeking or sensory-avoiding behaviors, and sensory modulation. The concept of sensory processing disorders stems from the work of occupational therapist Jean Ayres, Ph.D. Her work has launched a sensory-based treatment approach, primarily practiced by occupational therapists. This article outlines the theories supporting the notion of sensory processing disorders, options for assessment and treatment, and research on the efficacy of treatment.
