the idea of believing in sensory information. But is sensory information - the senses of taste, touch, hearing, smelling and seeing - accurate?
In many ways, not so much - sensory data isnt too accurate in many instances. For one thing, according to one study, adults and children perceive sensory information (especially
visual information) differently than their adult counterparts (Pappas, 2010). This study points out that, for example, when it comes to vision, people perceive depth based on different visual cues such
as binocular disparity and even texture (Pappas, 2010). On the adult side, the research pointed out that once sensory information is combined, it cant be untangled again - its part
of a "sensory fusion" (Pappas, 2010). Second, sensory information is at the mercy of all kinds of physical issues. For example, a child
with sensory dysfunction (or even an adult with SD) doesnt perceive cues from the senses properly. As such, its not unusual to see a child with SD to touch things
incessantly, run into things frequently (and on purpose) and even to sit on other kids. Its not because the child is being aggressive - he doesnt know where his body
is in relationship to the world. Third and finally, sensory input can be misconstrued for emotional reasons. There is the story of
10 eyewitnesses seeing the same crime - and coming up with 10 different versions of it. None of these eyewitnesses are wrong. Rather, theyre filtering sensory input through emotional lenses.
