When you see something dangerous you response by moving away from it & similarly when you see some vehicle coming your way‚ you wait to cross the

The sensory skills that children learn help them to develop the ability to navigate through their environment. The uncoordinated movements of a newborn reflect the lack of development in their brain. Since the brain gets stronger with exercise it is known that‚ the more the infant moves‚ the better for their development. As the brain and the body work together coordination develops as an infant presses or pushes off the floor‚ resisting gravity. This difficult work integrates limbs in relation to

Lab report on Sensory Threshold In this lab the purpose is to test the sensory threshold of a human body. To say it in terms that are easier to understand‚ we are testing how accurate certain points are on a body with response to touch. We are using three points on the body‚ the forearm‚ palm‚ and index finger. With these three points we will be testing to see how sensitive each point on the body is by measuring the distance of which we can feel one or two points. The part of the brain that allows
