Unit 3 – Sensation and Perception
3.7 Body Senses
mixed difficulty
What critical shift occurred in the perception of proprioception (body position) through history?
Recognition of proprioception as a distinct sensory system separate from touch or kinesthetic senses evolved over time.
Early theories proposed that muscles were solely responsible for proprioception information processing.
Proprioception was initially considered a cognitive process rather than a sensory one.
Proprioception's importance has diminished as it's now considered a redundant mechanism overlapping with other senses like vision and touch.
