Hyposensitivity, also known as Sensory under-responsitivity, refers to abnormally decreased sensitivity to sensory input. Hyposensitivity is especially common for autistic people and is more often seen in children than adults and adolescents due to masking. Those experiencing this have a harder time stimulating their senses than normally.
In her article "Embodied Writing: A Tool for Teaching and Learning in Dance", dance theorist Betsy Cooper defines embodied writing as: vividly descriptive writing inclusive of an array of sensory mechanisms such that a kinesthetic and visceral experience unfolds during the act of writing and a sympathetic response ensues for the reader.
Sensory modulation refers to a complex central nervous system process [1] [45] by which neural messages that convey information about the intensity, frequency, duration, complexity, and novelty of sensory stimuli are adjusted. [46] SMD consists of three subtypes: Sensory over-responsivity. Sensory under-responsivity; Sensory craving/seeking.
Children with this disorder have difficulty understanding words and sentences. This impairment is classified by deficiencies in expressive and receptive language development that is not attributed to sensory deficits, nonverbal intellectual deficits, a neurological condition, environmental deprivation or psychiatric impairments.
Neural adaptation or sensory adaptation is a gradual decrease over time in the responsiveness of the sensory system to a constant stimulus. It is usually experienced as a change in the stimulus. For example, if a hand is rested on a table, the table's surface is immediately felt against the skin.
Sensory modulation disorder, in which patients seek sensory stimulation due to an over or under response to sensory stimuli. Sensory based motor disorder. Patients have incorrect processing of motor information that leads to poor motor skills.
Here is Müller's statement of the law, from Handbuch der Physiologie des Menschen für Vorlesungen, 2nd Ed., translated by Edwin Clarke and Charles Donald O'Malley: . The same cause, such as electricity, can simultaneously affect all sensory organs, since they are all sensitive to it; and yet, every sensory nerve reacts to it differently; one nerve perceives it as light, another hears its ...
Agraphia is an acquired neurological disorder causing a loss in the ability to communicate through writing, either due to some form of motor dysfunction [1] or an inability to spell. [2] The loss of writing ability may present with other language or neurological disorders; [ 1 ] disorders appearing commonly with agraphia are alexia , aphasia ...
