Proponents have also claimed that adults may also show signs of sensory processing difficulties and would benefit for sensory processing therapies, [71] although this work has yet to distinguish between those with SPD symptoms alone vs adults whose processing abnormalities are associated with other disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder.
Perceptual disturbance or perceptual disorder may refer to: Perceptual disturbances or distortions, for instance with hallucinogenic drugs; Hallucinations, for instance visual or auditory hallucinations; Sensory processing disorder. Auditory processing disorder; Depersonalization-derealization disorder; Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder
Dual sensory loss is the simultaneous loss of two senses. Research has shown that 6% of non-institutionalized older adults had a dual sensory impairment, and 70% of severely visually impaired older adults additionally suffered from significant hearing loss. [7] Vision and hearing loss both interfere with the interpretation and comprehension of ...
Sensory overload has been found to be associated with other disorders and conditions such as: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) People with ADHD display hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli from a young age; this hypersensitivity often persists into adulthood.
Auditory processing disorder (APD), rarely known as King-Kopetzky syndrome, is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting the way the brain processes sounds. [2] Individuals with APD usually have normal structure and function of the ear, but cannot process the information they hear in the same way as others do, which leads to difficulties in recognizing and interpreting sounds, especially the ...
Agnosia is a neurological disorder characterized by an inability to process sensory information. Often there is a loss of ability to recognize objects, persons, sounds , shapes, or smells while the specific sense is not defective nor is there any significant memory loss . [ 1 ]
Agnosias are sensory modality specific, usually classified as visual, auditory, or tactile. [2] [3] Associative visual agnosia refers to a subtype of visual agnosia, which was labeled by Lissauer (1890), as an inability to connect the visual percept (mental representation of something being perceived through the senses) with its related semantic information stored in memory, such as, its name ...
The lack of attention to the left side of space can manifest in the visual, auditory, proprioceptive, and olfactory domains. Although hemispatial neglect often manifests as a sensory deficit (and is frequently co-morbid with sensory deficit), it is essentially a failure to pay sufficient attention to sensory input.
