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