1 0-6 Reflexes and Senses By Drina Madden 1
2 Awakening the Brain 2
3 Withdrawal Reaction Five weeks after conception! Embryo responds to experiences outside of itself! Touch upper lip = withdrawal from stimulus 3
4 Withdrawal Reaction "!A few days later! Sensitive area has spread! Palms of hands! Soles of feet "!Eventually! Whole body is responsive to touch! Withdrawal reaction is a full body reaction 4
5 PRIMITIVE REFLEXES "! 9 weeks in utero! Withdrawal reactions disappear! Primitive reflexes begin to appear! They continue to develop through pregnancy 5
6 PRIMITIVE REFLEXES "! Neural development determines arrival and inhibition of reflexes "! Awareness of reflexes and their inhibition helps caregivers to adjust environments 6
7 PRIMITIVE REFLEXES "!Reflexes! Insure protection for the embryo outside the womb! Support survival 7
8 PRIMITIVE REFLEXES "!Are automatic responses directed from the brain stem "!Cortex does not assist 8
9 PRIMITIVE REFLEXES "! Should only remain a few months "! Midbrain and cortex take over their roles as reflexes are inhibited 9
10 PRIMITIVE REFLEXES "!Early weeks of life! Brain stem dominates! Movements are! Basic head lifting! Squirming! Rolling 10
11 PRIMITIVE REFLEXES "!From 6-9 months! Midbrain takes over! Rolling! Crawling! Sitting! Creeping! Standing 11
12 PRIMITIVE REFLEXES "!6-12 months! Cortex takes over! Stand! Move with independent use of hands! Multisensory connections and full brain memories build! Frontal lobe can reason and plan logically 12
13 PRIMITIVE REFLEXES "!Reflexes that remain beyond 6-12 months of life indicate structural weakness or immaturity of the central nervous system 13
14 PRIMITIVE REFLEXES "!If remain to a great degree can negatively affect! Motor functioning! Sensory perception! Cognition! Means of expression/mood 14
15 PRIMITIVE REFLEXES "!Uninhibited reflexes! Visual sensitivity! Auditory sensitivity! Tactile sensitivity! Hyperactivity! Hypo activity! Brain s further development is slowed or sidetracked 15
16 PRIMITIVE REFLEXES "!By school age! Lower and Midbrain are more developed! Child can! Receive information through word and action! Process information through word and action! Respond to information through word and action 16
17 Auditory Assistance An Environment That Fosters Reflex Inhibition! Music sharpens auditory discrimination and increases rhythmic skills. It opens memory and sequence routes!! Encourage singing of nursery rhymes and sequences (days of the week, alphabet, etc.). Encourage tapping of the rhythm using various sound making techniques. 17
18 An Environment That Fosters Auditory Assistance Reflex Inhibition! Listening exercises that cause the child to discriminate between which note is the higher of two notes.! Encourage the child to sing each note.! Record the child s voice on a tape recorder and then have him modify his singing after listening to the sound. 18
19 An Environment That Fosters Visual Assistance Reflex Inhibition! Activities that emphasize:! Eye movement! Attention to visual detail from concrete to abstract! Visual/motor activities of a basic nature to enhance multisensory brain connections 19
20 An Environment That Fosters Visual Assistance Reflex Inhibition! Opportunities for seeing and saying in response to visual, auditory, kinesthetic and combined sensory activities! Evaluation by a pediatric ophthalmologist to determine the health of the eye and a pediatric optometrist to determine the quality of eye movements and focusing 20
21 An Environment That Fosters Kinesthetic! Palmar reflex Reflex Inhibition! Clasping and unclasping the hand around an object! Independent thumb opposition and finger movements! Finger exercises with hands separately and then making different movements with hands together 21
22 An Environment That Fosters Reflex Inhibition Kinesthetic! Moro reflex - Create a relaxed but alert environment! Minimize external noises! Maximize visual focusing opportunities! Seat children with focusing difficulties in the least busy space possible 22
23 An Environment That Fosters Reflex Inhibition Kinesthetic! Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex! Well-ordered and precise information one concept at a time with minimal interference! Much concrete experience! Stretching and flexion exercises on the stomach and on the back with eyes closed 23
24 An Environment That Fosters Reflex Inhibition Kinesthetic! Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex! Extra space for activity completion due to awkwardness and need to follow through on movement! Individual work/learning space to assist concentration 24
25 An Environment That Fosters Reflex Inhibition Kinesthetic! Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex! Training program that emphasizes slow rocking on hands and knees in response to head movement and short periods of crawling and creeping can bring about positive changes in reflex inhibition 25
26 An Environment That Fosters Reflex Inhibition Kinesthetic!Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex! Posture while working may be difficult to maintain. Adjust the placement of activities so the child is free to use his hands and eye movement while learning 26
27 An Environment That Fosters Reflex Inhibition Kinesthetic! Other exercises! Rolling body with eyes closed then open initiating movement from one part of the body! Creeping on a slanted board! Scooter or wobble board first lying, then sitting, to kneeling, standing and use of a minitrampoline! Swings spinning and regular! Slides, climbers and tunnels 27
28 28
29 "!Senses have separate organs for reception "!Thalamus the sensory gate controls the synchrony of all sensations readying the child to receive through all senses "!Experiences are stored in sensory specific parts of the brain 29
30 "!DEPEND ON EACH OTHER FOR MUCH OF THEIR FUNCTIONING "!Vision and hearing both depend on inner ear (vestibular system)! Awareness of body in space! Location of sights/sounds 30
31 "! Touch and sight often share the same moments "! Hearing joins in "! When we see we often smell and/or taste "! We must smell to experience flavor 31
32 "!Sensory experiences rely on! Clear impressions from the sense organ! Clear information processing For appropriate response 32
33 "!Problem with one sense organ can have major impact on reception of other sensory experience "!Overloading one system can cause another to shut down 33
34 "!Balance and vestibular 34
35 "!Balance and vestibular! Balance is the core of sensory functioning! First system fully developed! Begins 16 th week in utero! Myelinated at birth 35
36 "!Balance and vestibular! Function! Allows a sense of direction and orientation in utero! Helps cope with gravity 36
37 "!Balance and vestibular! Brain areas! Inner ear Semicircular canals and cochlea! Fluid and hairs provide information regarding»! Direction»! Angle»! Extent of movement! Passed to brain stem level for transmission to cerebellum 37
38 "! Balance and vestibular! Hearing is affected by vestibular and Vestibular affects hearing! Vestibular and reflex system are bound to visual system! Eye motor! Visual perception! Balance! Eye tracking! Motor planning 38
39 "!Balance and vestibular! Inappropriate vestibular signals causes REFLEX reactions to occur 39
40 "! Balance and Vestibular! Uninhibited reflex activity will slow down vestibular function! Balance problems! Motion sickness! Dislike of heights, swings, carousels! Disorientation! Difficulty sitting still! Eye-motor dysfunction! Visual perception difficulties! Directional awareness problems! Spatial perception difficulties! Organizational problems 40
41 "!Tactile Our first source of contact with the world 41
42 "!Tactile! 5 weeks after conception! Withdrawal reaction! Defensive response! 4 weeks later! Whole region of face, palms, soles, then whole body 42
43 "!Tactile! 2 nd -3 rd Trimester allows grasping reflexes! Birth = security, feeding, comfort, exploration 43
44 "!Tactile! Precedes hearing and vision as primary learning channels! Registers! Heat! Cold! Pain! Body position 44
45 "!Tactile! Over-active protective subsystem! Touch is not comforting! Touch cannot send information! Withdrawal results! Certain clothes! Contact sports! Poor body image! Sense of self in space! Extreme withdrawal = anorexia (poor body image) 45
46 "!Tactile! Good development! Better immune system! Better infant weight gain! Poor development! Much self stimulation/rocking! 15 minute massage daily can make a change 46
