Summary
Sensory processing differences are common in young Jordanian children, with over 60% showing potential issues. Early identification of sensory processing challenges is crucial for typical childhood development.
Area of Science:
- Developmental Psychology
- Occupational Therapy
- Pediatric Health
Background:
- Sensory processing abilities are fundamental to children's development and learning.
- Parental perception offers valuable insights into a child's daily functioning.
- Understanding sensory processing in early childhood is key for targeted interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate sensory processing abilities in typical kindergarteners in Amman, Jordan.
- To analyze parental perceptions of children's sensory functioning using a standardized tool.
- To establish baseline data on sensory processing differences in this population.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional survey design was utilized.
- Non-probability sampling included 957 typical kindergarteners (aged 4-6 years) in Amman, Jordan.
- The Arabic-Short Sensory Profile (A-SSP) was administered to parents.
Main Results:
- 37% of children exhibited definite differences in sensory processing.
- 24% of children showed probable differences in sensory processing.
- A significant proportion of children displayed atypical sensory behaviors.
Conclusions:
- Sensory processing should be considered in research on typical child development.
- Findings highlight the need for sensory processing support for Jordanian children.
- Early assessment of sensory processing can inform developmental support strategies.

01:30Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development
35
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

01:25Factors Affecting Perception
1.6K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.

01:27Parenting Styles

Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.

01:15Sensory Modalities
1.3K
Sensation typically is the process by which the sensory receptors and sense organs detect stimuli from the internal and external environment and transmit this information to the central nervous system for processing.
General senses refer to the broad category of sensory information detected by receptors in the body and can be further grouped into somatic and visceral senses. Somatic sensations include touch, pressure, temperature, and pain and are essential for navigating our environment and...

104
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
