Interoception: The Hidden Sensory System

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. A postulate of sensory integration theory is: Sensation is representative Sensory modulation is an outcome of sensory discrimination Sensory discrimination is an outcome of sensory modulation Sensory integration occurs during adaptive responses
2. Adequate processing and integration of sensory information is a foundation for: Achieving developmental milestones Adaptive behavior Development Function
3. The sensory receptors in the interoceptive system are found: Throughout the body Throughout the nervous system In the internal organs In the dorsal cords
4. Children develop skills and competences (end products) through an innate: Drive to engage in occupation Parent attachment Skill set Need to explore
5. Understanding the interoceptive system is important to learning outcomes because: If an internal sensation is demanding priority, we are not available to attend to demands in the environment If an external sensation is demanding priority, we are not available to shift to the internal demand We need our attention aroused so we don't miss out on learning There is no relationship between the interoceptive system and learning outcomes
6. When thinking about the behavioral expression of interoceptive processing, one should consider: Thirst, hunger and temperature Strength and endurance Voice quality Touch processing and vestibular function
7. This system is the sense that helps you understand your internal state: Vestibular Tactile Kinesthesia Interoceptive
8. Children who have poor discrimination in the interoceptive system often have delays in adaptive responses that can be seen in outcomes of: Age appropriate bowel/bladder routines Handwriting Swimming Team sports
9. The first priority when providing intervention is to: Direct intervention towards facilitation of appropriate behavior Direct intervention towards facilitation of an adaptive response Direct intervention towards facilitation of an tactile discrimination Direct intervention towards modulation of vestibular input
10. Because opportunities for adaptive response in one sensory system will likely lead to adaptive responses in other sensory systems, input into these sensory systems can improve function in the interoceptive system: Proprioception and deep pressure Input to the receptors in the internal organs Reticular formation Vagal nerve music stimulation
