Sensory Integration Quiz

What are the characteristics of sensory under responsive individuals?

• Indifferent to sensory input, seeking calm and quiet environments

• Avoiding sensory experiences, sensitive to pain or temperature changes

• Low threshold for sensory input, hyperaware of sensory stimuli

• High threshold for sensory input, unaware of sensory stimuli, seeking intense sensory experiences, unresponsive to pain or temperature changes

Define sensory integration.

• The process of amplifying sensory information from the environment

• The process of ignoring sensory information from the environment

• The process of randomly responding to sensory information from the environment

• The process by which the brain organizes and interprets sensory information from the environment to produce an appropriate response.

List some characteristics of sensory under responsive individuals.

• Moderate pain tolerance, seeking mild sensory input, average response to sensory stimuli, appearing overwhelmed by their surroundings, moderate activity level

• High pain tolerance, avoiding sensory input, slow response to sensory stimuli, appearing hyperaware of their surroundings, low activity level

• Low pain tolerance, avoiding sensory input, quick response to sensory stimuli, appearing hyperaware of their surroundings, low activity level

• High pain tolerance, seeking intense sensory input, slow response to sensory stimuli, appearing unaware of their surroundings, high activity level

Identify symptoms of sensory over responsive individuals.

• Easy filtering out irrelevant sensory information

• Weak emotional reactions to sensory input

• Decreased sensitivity to sensory stimuli

• Heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli, strong emotional reactions to sensory input, difficulty filtering out irrelevant sensory information, and avoidance of certain sensory experiences.

What are some common characteristics of sensory under responsive individuals?

• Immediate response to sensory stimuli, appearing overly responsive

• Indifference to sensory information, seeking minimal sensory input

• Heightened awareness of sensory stimuli, avoiding sensory input

• Reduced awareness of sensory stimuli, seeking intense sensory input, delayed response to sensory stimuli, appearing unresponsive to sensory information

How can you recognize symptoms of sensory over responsive individuals?

• Only focus on one type of sensory stimuli

• Assume all individuals react the same to sensory input

• Observe reactions to sensory stimuli such as touch, sound, taste, smell, or sight for exaggerated responses.

• Ignore any reactions to sensory stimuli

Discuss the behaviors typically associated with sensory seeking individuals.

• Sensory seeking individuals are not affected by sensory overload

• Sensory seeking individuals prefer quiet and calm environments

• Sensory seeking individuals avoid all types of sensory input

• Behaviors typically associated with sensory seeking individuals include engaging in activities that provide intense sensory input, such as rocking, spinning, jumping, or seeking out loud noises.

What are the key characteristics of sensory under responsive individuals?

• High threshold for sensory input, unaware of sensory stimuli, slow response to sensory input, seeking intense sensory experiences

• Low threshold for sensory input, hyperaware of sensory stimuli, quick response to sensory input, avoiding intense sensory experiences

• No threshold for sensory input, overwhelmed by sensory stimuli, no response to sensory input, avoiding all sensory experiences

• Moderate threshold for sensory input, partially aware of sensory stimuli, delayed response to sensory input, tolerating moderate sensory experiences

List the symptoms that may indicate sensory over responsiveness.

• Extreme sensitivity to light, sound, touch, taste, or smell, easily overwhelmed by sensory stimuli, strong emotional reactions to sensory input, and avoiding certain sensory experiences

• Enjoying sensory overload

• Lack of emotional response to sensory input

• Extreme insensitivity to light, sound, touch, taste, or smell

Describe the behaviors commonly seen in sensory seeking individuals.

• Avoiding sensory input

• Preferring quiet environments

• Engaging in social interactions

• Behaviors commonly seen in sensory seeking individuals include seeking out intense sensory input, fidgeting, seeking tactile stimulation, and engaging in repetitive movements.
