SENSORY AND MOTOR PROCESSING

Introduction

The study is based on discussing the concept of sensory process and motor process and their interconnection. It is necessary to state that both processes impact human psychology to a significant level as these are connected with the actions and reactions of human beings. Sensory organs help in creating neural impulses and motor processes can be represented as the process of producing actions. Therefore, the connection in both of them is related to supporting human beings in understanding sensations and creating expressions as per the message. All the related data will be discussed further with brief elaborations to make the concepts more understandable. 

Discussion

Concept of sensory process

Sensory process refers to the method where sensory neurons create neural impulses by stimulation. The five senses that living beings have are sight, smell, hear, touch, and taste and there are two additional senses such as vestibular sense and kinaesthetic sense. This process transforms the physical stimulation of the external world into internal activity and creates internal representations. It impacts the attention, motivation, memory, etc. of a person and it also defines the outcome. For example, it can be stated that light as a physical object has no colour but it contains wavelength intensity and distribution. Light can be developed with the help of chromatic mechanisms in the sensory processes.

Concept of motor process

Motor process refers to the method that helps in developing actions, reactions, etc. It is the process where cognitive and motor elements are incorporated together to be able to conduct the method of production of behaviours. In other words, the motor process is the development of any movement with the help of motor neurons. This process allows a person to express and act after getting the sensations from the outer environment. Any living being cannot react or act towards any incident or situation if its motor neurons are not appropriately functional. For example, when light flashes on the eyes, either the eyes get closed or blinking occurs, it is because of the movement created by the motor neurons. 

Correlation between sensory and motor process

In the above section, the concept of sensory and motor processes has been discussed which clarifies that any living being must require both of these to stay properly functional as per doing actions and providing reactions. The function of the sensory process is to gather sensations from the outer environment with the help of sensory organs and on the other hand, motor neurons use the information of sensations collected to create actions, expressions, etc. as per conveniences. Therefore, it can be stated that both the processes are dependent on each other and one alone cannot provide the desired outcomes. Any living being requires both the processes to be adequately functional within their bodies so that they can do movements in a proper manner and can express accordingly.

Impact of both processes on human psychology

Neurons are the main element of the brain and when any of the neurons is not working as it is supposed to then disorders occur in human psychology. People fail to understand the information provided by the outer environment which creates abnormal activities. At times, when a person becomes unable to react or act as they must do then a sense of inability is created in the mind. People start feeling incapable, and that directly impacts the brain as one can even go into a deep depression and can even isolate themself. It must be mentioned that these processes are necessary to be properly functional so that people can live a normal and healthy life from every aspect.

Conclusion

The entire study consists of valuable data regarding sensory neurons and motor neurons and how they function with the sensory process and motor process. To summarise the things that have been discussed in the above section, it can be stated that any living being is required to have properly functioning sensory and motor neurons so that their body can attempt both the mentioned processes appropriately to make them capable of expressing necessary things. Both processes are quintessential to ensure that a living being is having a proper state of mind to be able to express themselves as per the nature of the surrounding environment.
