Cards

Term
perception
Definition
processes used to gather and interpret sensory information from the external and internal environment
Term
interpretation
Definition
based on memory, judgements
Term
integrate
Definition
info coming from different perceptual/sensory modalities
Term
motor response
Definition
completes the information processing cycle, deciding upon and organizing response activity
Term
information-processing model
Definition
intefrate information coming from different perceptual/sensory modalities. This provides the basis for formulating a motor response, which completes the information processing cycle.
Term
visual acuity
Definition

refers to the clearness of vision and the capacity to detect both small stimuli and small details of large visuall patterns

dynamic- moving object

static- detect detail in a stationary object

Term

object permanence

Definition
the realization that objects continue to exist when they are no longer in view
Term
A-not-B error
Definition
infants will search for a hidden object where they first found it, rather than where they saw it
Term
embodiment
Definition
perceptual modalities linked together to form a basis for cognition/emotion/language
Term
perceptual constancy
Definition
When an object becomes known to an infant, it becomes recognizable as that specific object regardless of the angle or distance it is observed
Term
Spatial orientation
Definition
refers to the ability to recognize an object's orientation or position in 3-dimensional space
Term
spatial awareness
Definition
internal awareness of the orientation of objects and of the body in 3-dimensional space
Term
figure-ground perception
Definition
referes to the ability to distinguish objects from its background
Term
depth perception
Definition
the ability to judge the distance of an object from the self
Term
field of vision
Definition
refers to the entire extent of the environment that can be seen without changing the fixation of the eye (peripheral vision)
Term
visual motor coordination
Definition
the ability to coordinate visual abilities with movements of the body
Term
coincidental timing
Definition

involve the ability to coordinate visual and motor behavior to a single coincident point

(catching a ball, passing a ball to a running player)

Term
kinesthesis
Definition
"to move" and "sensation"
Term
kinesthetic acuity
Definition
refers to the ability to proprioceptively detect differences or match qualities such as location, distance, weight, force, speed, acceleration
Term
kinesthetic memory
Definition
reproduction of movents
Term
body awareness
Definition
involves awareness of body parts by name and location, their relationship to one another, and their capabilities and limitations
Term
Spatial awareness
Definition
involves the ability to draw interferences in relationship to self-space ot position as well as object recognition
Term
egocentric localization
Definition
ability to locate objects in space references to the self
Term
directional awareness
Definition

extension of body and spatial awareness

1) laterality- aware of dimensions of external space

2) directionality- spatial orientation

Term
rhythmic awareness
Definition
creating and maintaining a temporal pattern within a set of movements
Term
vestibular awareness
Definition
ability to maintain and establish equilibrium (balance)
Term
postural balance
Definition
refers tp the relatively unconcious level of basic reflex functioning that enables one to maintain upright posture
Term
static balance
Definition
the ability to maintain a desired body posture when the body is relatively stationary
Term
dynamic balance
Definition
referes to the body's ability to maintain control posture while in motion
Term
auditory perception
Definition
male hearing loss at 40 years, females at 50 years
Term
tactile perception
Definition
ability to detect and interpret sensory info on skin
Term
perceptual integration
Definition
the perceptual and perceptual motor-processes, however frequently involve the simultaneous use of more than one system
Term
intermodal perception
Definition

ability to translate(perceive) information from one sensory modality to another

(handle in tactile and recognize in visual)

Term
Gibson's ecological perspective
Definition

perception is an active cognitive process - individual selectivity interacts with varied field of perceptual possibilities

  • explore for invariant features of environment - finer & finer distinctions made
  • perceptions & actions are coupled
  • affordances - opportunities for action
Term
movement based approaches
Definition
  • rewiring process through crawling & creeping
  • little to NO relationship perceptual - motor activity ----> perception ----> cognition
  • lack of support that perceptual motor improves academic support
  • early stimulation +++++ brain development
  • improve baby's IQ:no hard evidence on how motor activity affects on cognitive development
