Chapter 1: Sensory Integration: A. Jean Ayres’ Theory Revisited
TRUE/FALSE
1. Somatodyspraxia is a more severe practice deficit than Vestibular Bilateral Integration and
Sequencing (VBIS) disorder.
ANS: T PTS: 1
2. Ayres’ theory focused primarily on contributions of the auditory and visual systems to
motor planning.
ANS: F
Ayres’ theory focused primarily on the contributions of the tactile, proprioceptive, and
vestibular systems.
PTS: 1
3. Sensory integration (SI) theory hypothesizes that deficits in learning and behavior are
because of poor processing and integration of sensation in the central nervous system
(CNS).
ANS: T PTS: 1
4. Deficits in a child’s learning, behavior, and arousal following a traumatic brain injury can be
attributed to sensory integration (SI) dysfunction.
ANS: F
A diagnosis of SI dysfunction requires evidence of deficits in the central processing of
vestibular, proprioceptive, or tactile sensation that are not attributable to frank peripheral
nervous system or central nervous system damage or associated with cognitive deficits.
PTS: 1
5. The theory of sensory integration (SI) can be used to explain the cause of low muscle tone
and poor proximal stability in a child with Down syndrome.
ANS: F
SI theory is not intended to explain dysfunction in motor planning or sensory modulation
because of frank central nervous system damage, genetic issues, or other diagnostic
conditions.
PTS: 1
MULTIPLE CHOICE
6. Which of the following is NOT an assumption associated with sensory integration (SI)
theory?

A. Children have an inner drive to develop SI through participation in sensorimotor
activities.
B. Adaptive interactions are critical to the development of SI.
C. Environmental interactions have limited effects on the central nervous system.
D. The brain functions as an integrated whole, meaning that cortical and subcortical
structures are important for SI.
ANS: C PTS: 1
7. Which of the following statements is MOST accurate?
A. Poor self-esteem is primarily an outcome of poor sensory modulation, not poor
praxis.
B. Challenges with attention, self-regulation, and arousal are seen more often in
children with poor sensory modulation as opposed to poor praxis.
C. Deficits in proprioceptive processing primarily lead to poor sensory modulation,
not deficits in praxis.
D. Avoidance of meaningful activities is primarily seen in children with dysfunction
in praxis, whereas children with poor sensory modulation rarely avoid
engagement.
ANS: B PTS: 1
MATCHING
Match the term to the definition.
A. Feedback that arises from actions that produce a change in the environment
B. Feedback that arises from the body and informs the child how it felt to move
C. The sense of where body parts are in relation to one another
8. Body scheme
9. Production feedback
10. Outcome feedback
8. ANS: C PTS: 1
9. ANS: B PTS: 1
10. ANS: A PTS: 1
