Recommended: Analysis of the sixth sense

After listening to the video, I learned that we as humans have a sixth sense. This sixth sense is known as proprioception and it’s the sense that our body uses to detect itself. Meaning it is the unconscious perception of our movements and posture that is being monitored all the time by our brain. Basically, it is the conversation that our mind and body are always having. I never knew about this sixth sense before or knew of any disorder that affected this sense before listening to Ian waterman’s story. In the video, Ian describes how he discovered his disability by trying to mow his lawn one day and waking up the next morning not knowing how to control his movements. Crazy, how that morning, his hand was on top of his face and he couldn’t

    Proprioception provides an awareness of the body and body positioning without 'continuous reference to consciousness' (Lephart et.al, 1997, p. 131). There are two types of proprioception, being conscious and unconscious. Conscious proprioception concerns joint position sense and kinetic sense (Khasnis & Gokula, 2003). Joint position sense processes joint movement and joint position sensations (Sharp et.al, 1994). These joint sensations provide the awareness of the position of the body and body parts in space (Khasnis & Gokula, 2003). Kinetic sense is the awareness of the motion of various body parts (Khasnis & Gokula, 2003). Joint position sense and kinetic sense are essential for proper joint function in daily activities. Mechanoreceptors are peripheral afferents and transmit signals that the joint position and kinetic senses identify (Lephart & Fu, 1995). Mechanoreceptors are located in spindle endings and tendonn organs in muscles, or Ruffini spray endings in deeper tissue (Stillman, 2002). Mechanoreceptors can act at different speeds, and conscious proprioception can pl...

  • The Causes And Effects Of Autism Spectrum Disorder

    1010 Words  | 3 Pages

    For humans, our ability to understand other people’s actions, and the intentions behind those actions, are enabled by our mirror neuron system (Cattaneo & Rizzolatti, 2009). Most crucial throughout infancy and toddler years, the mirror neuron system (MNS) allows for simple tasks such as imitation, which later becomes vital to the development of our social cognitive skills (Iacoboni & Dapretto, 2006). The MNS is located in the F5 sector of our ventral premotor cortex and is known to discharge upon sensation of movement, however not firing to simple body displacements. Cattaneo and Rizzolatti explain there are two sets of mirror neurons, parietofrontal mirror neurons and premotor mirror neurons (2009). The entire system works together, first with the parietofrontal mirror neurons learning of the action that is taking place, followed by the premotor neurons sending a signal when they understand the reason behind that particular action (Cattaneo & Rizzolatti, 2009). The MNS system is not only activated during observation, but also while listening to sounds and emotion (Iacoboni & Dapretto, 2006; Dapretto el al., 2005...

    As a fan of cinema, I was excited to do this project on what I had remembered as a touching portrait on racism in our modern society. Writer/Director Paul Haggis deliberately depicts his characters in Crash within the context of many typical ethnic stereotypes that exist in our world today -- a "gangbanger" Latino with a shaved head and tattoos, an upper-class white woman who is discomforted by the sight of two young Black kids, and so on -- and causes them to rethink their own prejudices during their "crash moment" when they realize the racism that exists within themselves.

  • Astereognotic Disorders: Stereognosis

    268). This disorder is often a result of damage to one or more of these areas, illustrating the complex, separate systems involved in perceiving, integrating, and making observations on this information, as well as the possibility for these systems to become altered or interrupted as a result of lesions, tumours, or other forms of damage. It is also worth noting that those suffering from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia show a reduction in their stereognosis ability, showing that some neurological diseases may impact these systems as well (Gerstmann, 2001, p. 271). Apart from the impact on making associations between previously perceived objects and immediate tactile sensory input, individuals with this disorder would rarely experience significant distress or impact to their quality of life as it does not directly affect interactions with others or their
