Part 1) Sensory Deprivation Exercise
It is a sensory deprivation exercise and, if possible, try and have someone help you with it. Be careful of the things you do while doing this exercise as your senses will not be as sharp as they normally are. DO NOT ENGAGE IN ACTVITIES THAT PUT YOU OR OTHERS AT RISK (e.g., DRIVING).
To alter your senses…..
Hearing Place cotton balls in your ears to muffle sounds.
Vision Place translucent plastic over the goggles (or glasses if you wear them) and secure with rubber bands or tape. Or look through a piece of translucent plastic.
Touch Put on rubber or thin material gloves.
You can do one sense at a time if you are alone so that you have your other senses to help you. If you have a helper, do all the senses at the same time to get a perspective of what it is like to be elderly.
Try some everyday activities like reading or watching TV. Try picking up eating utensils with the gloves on.The assignment is to describe what the experience is like. What are your thoughts about your senses being altered? What are some of your feelings about it?
1 respond )>>complete our weekly assignment/conference while having my senses impaired. So please, take note there may be a few mistakes hehehehe.
So I have inserted ear plugs, similar to the ones they give you on airplanes, I am using glasses with a vision altering plastic over them and wearing gloves to type.
First off, to listen to and really understand everything in the lecture notes and short videos I watched online. I had to have the volume turned all the way up, to a point where I had my kids come up and ask if everything was ok, and why I was it was so loud.
I found myself moving around in front of my computer screen to try and get a clearer picture of what I was reading and at times trying to make the letters bigger so it would be easier to read. That took a lot of my concentration away and I found I was reading and re reading the same paragraphs over and over. Not to mention trying to find the right setting.
Trying to type without having full sensation of the keyboard and it’s keys finally made me understand my dad a bit more and why he types like he is picking corn from from the keyboard. Not only does he have to take note and make sure he is choosing the right key, he also has impaired sensation of how many keys he has actually pressed. Not an easy task.
Eventually, going back to my normal senses I really understood how many difficulties losing your senses presents. I can see how it must be even harder when you slowly, start losing each one to a point where you don’t even notice until you go to renew your DL and are told you need glasses. But it would be horrific to all of a sudden partially lose all or anyone of our senses. Very interesting exercise.
2 respond) >>>For this week’s experiment was fascinating because it’s something I never considered during daily life for the past 29 years. For the first part of the experiment I spent a day with hockey gloves on to impair the sense of touch. I even got my girlfriend to brush my teeth for me, which is probably one of the most personally invasive activities we do on a daily basis. The simplest of tasks became difficult and small items such as using a key to open a door or turning on the television. My level of frustration rose throughout the day and even the act of petting my 9 month old puppy seemed more work than I wanted to bother. For the second day I spent the entire work day without my glasses on, which makes me border-line legally blind. I was especially surprised at how much more movement my day required, when you’re not able to see anything from a far. From looking at the time on a clock to being unable to determine the face of a co-worker, this we definitely a harsh lesson to learn. The loss of site was probably the more hindering of the two loss of senses, even though I was still able to roughly make out shapes and colors. With more than 1 billion people in the world disabled, as reported just today by the New York Times, it is so great that today the UN is hosting the first every General Assembly meeting to allow disabled individuals to contribute to the world economy. As Americans we encourage people with special needs to overcome barriers, while still much of the world pushes them aside and restricts them from learning their potential. This experiment showed me just how hard it is to work at overcoming a disability involving the use of touch or site. It definitely gave me more respect for those who do it on a daily basis, but just as important allowed me to empathize far more with disabled people. While it wasn’t the most academic task we’ve done, so far this week’s exercise was by far the most enriching for me as a person.
