Cognitive Observation

447 Words2 Pages

Today in class we participated in an activity called, sitting volleyball, a form of volleyball that is played in the Paralympic Games. (Olympic style games for athletes with disabilities.) This activity helped me understand the fundamental skills that are needed for disabled players to participate in athletic activities. Some of the adaptations made for this game were lowering the net, decreasing the team sizes, changing the court sizes and changing the way players moved on the court.

Even though, I understand the majority of the rules and skills needed to play volleyball, I still had to modify some of my cognitive movements and body movements. From my experience, I found that that sitting volleyball was much faster than regular volleyball.

    I agree with you that the Cognitive Behavioral Frame of Reference and the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) approach are both excellent approaches to guide your wellness program. I used both of these approaches with my wellness program for adults with Schizophrenia or bipolar. I like how the Cognitive Behaviorial Frame of Reference encourage new behaviors by shaping, repetition, and reinforcement. I also like how MOHO looks at he individual as a whole. I believe by assisting the individual to identify triggers that caused their stress and anxiety is an excellent idea with your target population.

    Reading an endless passage of texts allows the readers to give up for many reasons from not being engaged or being convinced of the beneficial aspect of the text is due to the lack of good writing. The definition of “good writing” can confuse people by being too broad. My belief of good writing is writing that compels an audience to feel interested, motivated, or deeply connected through the composed text. The article “To The Youth Athlete I was, And The Adult Athlete I’ll Never Be” written by Gina Davis have the qualities of good writing which targets a certain Discourse community. A Discourse community is living to a certain role or “identity kit” they upholds themselves with the driven skills, values, and beliefs to their community.

Whether she is in the hospital all day or hanging out with her friends in school, she never lets her illness stop her from striving to do her best. She was told a year ago that she would not be able to play volleyball again, considering it frequently involves moving her shoulder.

  • Perception In Critical Thinking

    2014 Words  | 9 Pages

    Perception is the organisation, identification and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the environment. Like perception, logic plays a role in critical thinking. Critical thinking is the process in which one mentally explores deeper than the superficial matters at hand into the deeper layers in order to find out what the real issues are. However, when it comes to weighing their beneficial impact on the critical thinking process, logic and perception are by no means equal. While logic is firmly rooted in reason, perceptions are just as firmly rooted in one’s senses and can easily be corrupted.

These adaptations include: a smaller court (10m x 6m) and a lower net (1.15m for men and 1.05 for women) and a portion of the athlete’s glutes must be in contact with the ground at all times while playing the ball. These adaptations are great for people that have an amputated leg, or a disfunction in their leg.
