Building Healthy Brains: Sensory Strategies for Optimal Brain Function & Postural Concerns

---

1.  How many vestibular receptors are there in each ear? 3 5 7 9

2.  When considering the pyramid of learning (Dr. Perry), cognition and intellect are at the: Top Middle Bottom Not specified

3.  A child who shows a problem in recognizing/interpreting differences or similarities in qualities of stimuli is considered to have a: Postural-ocular disorder Sensory discrimination disorder Sensory modulation disorder Auditory disorder

4.  What part of the brain controls balance and coordination? Amygdala Hipppocampus Cerebellum Frontal lobe

5.  The constant balancing of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system where we are in a state of ability to interact with the environment is known as: Hibernation Matriculation Orchestration Regulation

6.  A preemie exhibits a maladaptive posture. What might be affected? Flexion and extension Developmental interference Position of the diaphragm All of the above

7.  The rectus abdominis, external oblique, and transverse abdominis are critical for: Auditory discrimination Distal stability Core stability Pelvic tilt

8.  When considering sensory learning/processing, which of the following is NOT true? Many students need to move in order to regulate their systems and for optimal learning. Adding movement breaks to the classroom is helpful. Sitting still and being quiet is best practice. Using multi-modes of sensory teaching can enhance student learning and retention.

9.  Vestibular and oculomotor training is critical for children with sensory and postural disorders. Which of the following are appropriate activities during treatment? Tossing a beanbag in a rainbow arc Scooter use in various positions Jumping in multiple directions with or without a taped line All of the above

10.  A combination of vestibular, proprioception, and vision activities can effectively work on: Balance Rotary stimulation Heavy work Feeding
