Sensory Organization (Cognitive): - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔1. Allows information
provided by the other systems to be integrated into a whole picture, can be
affected by issues such as anxiety, dementia, reduced response time, fear
and exaggerated responses
2. Allows for compensation if one of the 3 systems is impaired
