What is a Sensory System?01:31

What is a Sensory System?

101.5K
Sensory systems detect stimuli—such as light and sound waves—and transduce them into neural signals that can be interpreted by the nervous system. In addition to external stimuli detected by the senses, some sensory systems detect internal stimuli—such as the proprioceptors in muscles and tendons that send feedback about limb position.

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Typical Model Studies

Fluid mechanics model studies often utilize scaled-down systems to predict fluid behavior in full-scale environments, such as river flows, dam spillways, and structures interacting with open surfaces. Maintaining Froude number similarity in river models is crucial, as it replicates surface flow features like wave patterns and velocities.

Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game

234
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

Ending Relationships01:28

Ending Relationships

207
The dissolution of intimate relationships presents complex emotional and psychological challenges, particularly when emotional bonds are strong, the relationship is long-standing, and perceived alternatives are limited. This distress often intensifies in romantic breakups, where the initiator may experience greater turmoil than the rejected partner. Contributing factors include residual attachment, guilt over causing pain, and uncertainty about how to manage the situation. The stress is further...

Pharmacokinetic–Pharmacodynamic Relationship: Duration of Dose-Effect Relationship

24
For drugs producing a quantal response, onset occurs when plasma concentration reaches a minimum effective level (Cmin). The drug's action duration depends on how long the plasma concentration remains above Cmin.Two primary factors influence this duration: dose size and the rate of drug removal from the action site. Both depend on the drug's redistribution to poorly perfused tissues and elimination processes. A larger dose promotes rapid onset and prolongs the effect's duration.Consider a...

Area of Science:

  • Child Development
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Pretend play is vital for cognitive and social development in children.
  • Sensory processing differences can impact a child's ability to participate in various activities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between sensory processing and pretend play skills in typically developing children.
  • To identify specific sensory processing factors that influence pretend play quality.

Main Methods:

  • Forty-two typically developing children aged 5-7 years participated.
  • Assessments included the Child Initiated Pretend Play Assessment and the Sensory Processing Measure (SPM).

Main Results:

  • Elaborate pretend play showed significant correlations with body awareness (r = .62) and balance (r = .42).
  • Object substitution in play was linked to social participation (r = .42).
  • Sensory factors like Body Awareness, Balance, Touch, and Social Participation predicted pretend play quality.

Conclusions:

  • Sensory processing abilities, particularly body awareness and balance, are integral to children's pretend play.
  • Children utilize sensory processing skills to engage and participate in imaginative play activities.
