Sensory integration ability is the life instinct, human beings of various external stimulus feelings, through the human body's sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, vestibular, ontology and other sensory system neural network into the brain, after the brain's response processing, interpretation, comparison, enhancement, inhibition, contact, unification, different parts of the nervous system can coordinate the overall work, so that the individual and the environment smooth contact, and make adaptive responses.
Sensory integration is a coordinated process between the brain and the motor nervous system of the body, the foundation of human intelligence, and the foundation of the development of all learning capabilities. Good sensory integration ability can fundamentally and systematically cultivate children's behavioral ability, organizational ability, learning ability, concentration ability, thinking ability, exploration ability, creative ability, decision-making ability and problem-solving ability.
This ability is not innate, but through the exploration of the world, through a large number of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, vestibular, ontology, etc. stimulation can make human sensory integration ability become strong, so that we adapt to the complex world environment, develop the potential level of intelligence, and master excellent skills.
Sensory integration and development is good, so that people can objectively interpret, rationally process and respond to all sensory stimuli, and the high degree of coordination of the brain, eyes, ears, hands, feet, etc., can effectively improve children's attention, enhance children's self-confidence, and completely clear children's learning disorders.
Sensory integration is underdeveloped, human brain and nervous system activity is like congested traffic, and many sensory information flows poorly, chaotically and slowly, making the child's cognitive, behavioral, learning, emotional and other aspects of abnormal development.
Human brain development has the phenomenon of juvenile continuation, the human brain at birth only developed 23%, the remaining 77% in the acquired development, this huge plasticity for human adaptation to the environment provides a very broad world, of course, the development of the brain itself also needs the guidance of external stimuli.
A child's brain has as many nerve cells as an adult at birth, but the function of these cells is not yet fully developed, and the connection between cells is very small, and it is difficult to play a good overall function.
The functional development and the formation of connections in brain cells need to be stimulated by a large amount of suitable information. As the connections between nerve cells increase, each brain cell stretches out like a tree root and connects with thousands of nerve cells, and the more side branches, the more extensive and rich the connections are established, and the more extensive and large the network of contacts formed. Similarly functioning nerve cells are organized together to complete specific tasks, forming specific areas of neural function, such as areas responsible for visual sensations, areas of finger movement, and complex connections in various areas gradually produce advanced mental activities such as thinking and creation.
Children's brain development has its own natural internal laws, and the development of sensory and sensory integration is the first step in its development. Through a steady stream of sensory stimulation, the nerve cell protrusions are constantly divided into lateral branches and extensions, so that brain cells form a dense and complex network, change the microstructure of the brain and improve the function of the entire brain, laying a broad foundation for the development of infant intelligence and potential.
There is a certain critical period of this development, and the level of physical and mental maturity at a certain period of time is just right for the development of a certain behavior. If you lose the opportunity to develop or learn during a critical period, it will be difficult to establish such behaviors in the future, or even for life.
Sensory integration develops earlier and generally takes shape before the age of 12. With the process of urbanization, children's free movement is limited, parents coddle and arranged, the proportion of caesarean sections increases, fetal pressure and environmental deprivation lead to early childhood sensory input and lack of sensory experience, interfere with the formation of neural connections, and hinder the development of children's physical intelligence.
