Document Summary

Sensory-perceptual development: development of vision, audition, and kinesthetic systems, relations between various systems. Neural activity triggered by a stimulus that activates a sensory receptor and results in sensory nerve impulses travelling the sensory nerve pathways to the brain. The nerve impulses are results of a stimulus (e. g. , hand on oven, the hand feels the hot surface of the oven) Perception can vary between and within individuals: the same stimulus can be interpreted in different ways. Movement depends on perception of the environment. There are 3 major senses for motor development that relate to physical activity: visual, kinesthetic, auditory. Think : what constraint would these be? (a: individual structural) If one of these senses are removed, how would our development from different than if the senses weren"t removed: vision. Light rays converge and meet on a focal point. Colour blindness could occur from faulty cone or faulty pathways form the cone to brain.
