...neurofibrillary tangles, and severe loss of neurons and synapses in the cerebral cortex. Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disorder ( Hof, Vogt, Bouras, and Morrison 1997). Recent attention has been focused on visual dysfunction in Alzheimer's Disease (K. U. Loffler, D. P. Edward, & M. O. M. Tso 1995). Visual Problems During the clinical evaluation of patients with mild to moderate dementia of the AD type, visual difficulties such as : topographic agnosia, visual agnosia, alexia without agraphia, and prosopagnosia are detected. AD patients have The problem of describing the individual components of a picture is consistent with the severity of cytochrome oxidase (C.O.) deficits in the association cortical areas. Other deficits experienced by AD patients were texture discrimination, blue-violet discrimination, and 4.72 deg/sec motion detection. When AD patients were compared to other age-matched controls, AD patients had shown specific deficits in contrast sensitivity. Deficits in color vision were only age-related (M. Wong-Riley, et al. , 1997). Studies Selective degeneration of large ganglion cell axons was observed in the optic nerves of AD patients, which suggested an impairment of broad-band channel visual function. Although studies show that the broad-band visual capabilities are not selectively impaired in AD. Dorsal LGN studies have shown that both the magno- and parvicellular neurons were greatly affected in AD patients....

...foundation for interpreting the events of the world around us. Stimuli from the environment that evoke sensory experiences of hearing, seeing, and touching promote brain growth and development. Our sensory systems do indeed change over time, just like the rest of our body. At birth our senses are not completely developed giving us an incomplete view of the world. As we age, our senses will decline leaving us with less of a connection with the world. The path and nature of the development of our senses are important for several reasons. Understanding development helps the medical field intervene in problems to help people of all ages have more normal sensory systems. Understanding development also yields important insight into the basic operations of our sensory systems. Seeing how they change gives researchers peaks into the nature of their general operation. In perceptual development, many focus area does exist, but for the purpose of this paper, emphasis will be placed on discussing the significance of nature vs. nurture to perceptual development in infants, as well as discuss other sensation and perception concepts like visual abilities – acuity and eye movements. Nature vs. Nurture Nature and Nurture in perceptual development has been an important debate for a very long time. Some psychologists strongly believe that nature plays a more significant role in development than nurture, while other proponent of the significance of nurture in development thinks otherwise. Because this is...

...Conditions Related to the Eye and Blindness Michael A. Allen Jackson State University Abstract Conditions related to the eye and blindness is very common. There are many disease of the eye. Many of these diseases can cause a lot of harm. There are five main points that will be discussed they are age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, retinopathy, visual impairment in higher learning, and social support for the visually impaired. Macular degeneration often damages central vision and is prevalent in people age 60 and over with rare cases of people fewer than 50. Retinitis Pigmentosa is common among families; it’s not always related to hereditary factors. Retinopathy is a common problem for people with diabetes where retinal blood vessels break down and affect vision. People with visual impairments who are in higher learning are very common now days and accommodations are set up for persons. Social support for people who are visually impaired is key factors to helping those individuals have a normal and productive life. Introduction There are many eye conditions. They are listed as followed. Lazy Eye or Amblyopia is a very common condition. Usually present early in childhood, lazy eye can be corrected if caught early. Learn what you can do to correct this eye condition before it becomes severe. Aphakia is a condition where the lens of the eye is missing. It can greatly decrease your vision acuity and cause other problems if not treated. Astigmatism...

...We can never truly be sure that our visual experience tells us how things really are; optical illusions disprove our sight regularly and distort our opinions of what we believe to be true due to visual perception on a daily basis. Because of a defect in the shape of my eyes, if I were to take off my prescription lenses, the world would seem to me as if someone applied a Gaussian blur filter to everything in front of me. Without the aid of my glasses, objects blend into one another and details not immediately in front of me disappear from my perception altogether. This, however, does not mean that the object ceases to exist just because I can no longer see it. We learn this concept of object permanency at a young age. Similarly, if we take Morpheus’ claims to be true, and the world outside of the Matrix as reality, the entirety of Neo’s life experiences up to the point when he’s freed from the vat of liquid have been false. For years, the visual stimuli perceived by his mind seem to have fooled him, and this serves as a testament to our inability to objectively discern truth from falsehood, “the real world” from the fiction. All we have to rely on are our senses, but the existence of Matrix, or even more mundane illusions have proven that they can’t always be trusted. They are susceptible to manipulation. However, I posit that the ability to discern whether his perceptions were now real in that situation would not make any practical difference to him, because for all...

...Social Pressure-Amber Marsden-Youll Everyone leads different lives and is influenced by different sources but no matter what, we will get influenced by the media and be influenced by a visual image. A visual image is a mental image that we think is similar to a visual perception. It can change our moods and how we think about ourselves creating low self esteem or high self esteem. During a teenager’s life, we think we are judged by every little action we do or any decision we make. Some are affected more than this than others and this is due to society and the way they think things should be. We can be influenced and pressured by many visual sources such as magazines, T.V., and the main one, the Internet. During the rapid progression of technology, we can do and manipulate things quicker and easier than ever to make them look perfect when in real life it isn’t like that. There is a vast range of new visual images available in this century. What I will focus on today is the way the social visual images in the media influences girls to dress they way they dress, choose the decisions they make and how social pressures affects them. We all know of the media sights like Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and so on and how we can manipulate photos so it looks like our eyes are as big as a dolls and perfect, or how we can make our skin flawless and glowing. With the help and assistance of make-up and plastic surgery, we can change our whole look. From being pale with...

...If we take into account the ideological nature of Art, we would observe how images serve the interest of some and not all members of society. We would also discover that ideological art attempts to establish a link between art and political courses of action in order to secure complete domination. In John Bergers book, “Ways of Seeing”, he explains that his essential aim for putting together this manuscript was to start a process of questioning about how we look, interpret and judge images (Art). I believe his urge to initiate this process of questioning is because he wants people to being, “truly understanding art”, not based off of the interpretation of a select few but from their own personal prospective. In other words, Berger does not want us to be told what to see within a work of art, but he wants us to discover ourselves within that masterpiece. In a way, Berger gives us the definition of beauty in art. Not by standard definition but by exposing us to the fact that beauty is not defined by what we are told but it is defined by what we perceive. As Berger continued, I deduced that he believes, the ruling class deliberately exploits art as a repressive tactic and tool, in order to create a culture of isolation. He also introduces statistical data proving that many people identify museums with the church. So here we have a house of worship and a secular institution dedicated to art. A house of worship is a specifically designed edifice or consecrated space where groups...

...without this fundamental program, students academic achievement and development as an intellectuals, could be jolted, and our understanding of this important language called music could vanish right before our eyes. Music is a intricate language that incorporates many important characteristics of learning in school such as math, science, coordination and other spatial potentials. So the questions are raised as to whether music programs really aid a child’s development in not only the specific area of music, but in other areas of school. Scientists have recently been testing this particular topic in elementary schools. The studies are evaluating whether there is an effect from instrumental training program on the development of verbal and visual memory skills in students from elementary schools. Previous studies have been conducted showing how music programs enhance students learning in other subjects. At...

...devices. Twenty-first century teachers and librarians work with students and/or patrons with disabilities on a daily basis. One example of an assistive technology device that can be used for students with disabilities is audio books or digital books. Audio books are excellent resources for anyone who cannot read due to a learning disability, dyslexia, or visual impairment (Ruffin, 2012). Students and library patrons, no matter their age, can follow along in the text while listening to the book on tape, CD, or any other digital AT device. Although tapes and CD’s are somewhat dated, MP3 files and other online audio material are not, and these are readily accessible for students. The great thing about audio books is that one no longer has to rely on a cassette player or CD player in order to gain access. It is easy to access them using an iPad, iPod, laptop, Nook, Kindle, or even a smart phone. The cost of audio books is not cheap; however, some can be downloaded for free. There are some digital audio books that cost less than the physical text and can be installed on any device that plays digital audio. This allows those with visual impairments or those with dyslexia or other reading disabilities an ability to comprehend not through sight, but through hearing. Audio books help with intellectual barriers by helping students have the same benefits as their peers. Students with reading and sight disabilities are able to have the same...

...learning strategy is aural learning. The aural learner learns through listening. This type of learner will tend to have poor class notes because of preferring to listen rather than take complete notes in class. Aural learners do best when putting notes on tape and listening to the recording or reading their summarized notes aloud. Preferred Learning Strategies Although the VARK questionnaire showed a strong use of aural learning strategies for this author, visual study strategies are actually preferred. Visual learners “prefer using pictures, colors, and maps to organize information and communicate with others” (learning-styles-online, 2014). The use of color, layout, and spatial organization with lecture and class notes assist this learner. Highlighting text and notes is a big part of this learner’s strategy. Separating different sections of notes by bullet points and using lists is also helpful. Comparison of Identified Learning Strategies to Preferred Learning Strategies The aural learning style and the visual learning style are very different approaches to learning. Whereas the aural style focus on the advantages of learning by hearing the...

...were randomly selected for the study. Non-cycloplegic refraction was performed on each child who failed the reading test. Hyperopia was defined as spherical power of ≥ + 0.75 D, myopia as ≤ – 0.50 D and astigmatism as a cylindrical power of ≤ – 0.50 D. Of the children examined, only 13.3% had previously had an eye examination. Introduction Uncorrected refractive errors remains a public health problem among different population groups. Among schoolchildren, it has a considerable impact on learning and academic achievement especially in underserved and under-resourced communities. Uncorrected refractive errors in schoolchildren and its impact on academic achievement have only recently received attention. It became necessary therefore to Visual impairment (VA of 6/12 or worse in the better eye) was present in 4.5% of the children examined. Of those who failed the reading test, 85.9% had refractive error. The prevalence of hyperopia, myopia and astigmatism was 5.0%, 1.7% and 6.6% respectively. The study concludes that uncorrected refractive error is a common...

...translation and interpretation. It is important to note that perception follows sensation, as the nerve impulses travel through a series of organization, translation, and interpretation (Goldstein, 2014). After the perception process is complete, a person is then able to make sense out of the sensations. 2. Identify the biological factors that influence sensation and perception. Some of the biological factors that affect sensation and perception include various sounds, taste, sights, touch, and smells. In fact, almost anything that an individual experiences can have a major influence their sensations (Goldstein, 2014). For instance, colors such as red, blue, green, yellow, and orange would have no real meaning if not for the function of visual sensations (Goldstein, 2014). Another example of biological factors that influence sensation and perception could be when a person indulges in their favorite food. Before eating it, the individual can see as well as smell what they are about to eat, which in turn will trigger a memory...
