Eye-pressing by visually impaired children / James E. JAN in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 25-6 (December 1983)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 25-6 (December 1983) . - p.755-762 Titre : Eye-pressing by visually impaired children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : James E. JAN, Auteur ; Eileen SCOTT, Auteur ; Donald E. NEWMAN, Auteur ; Roger D. FREEMAN, Auteur ; Andrew Q. MCCORMICK, Auteur ; William D. ROBERTSON, Auteur Année de publication : 1983 Article en page(s) : p.755-762 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many children with severely impaired sight exhibit stereotyped mannerisms. Visual self-stimulation, e.g. eye-pressing and light-gazing, normally is restricted to the visually impaired; prolonged eye-pressing is the most common. This behaviour depends on onset of visual impairment, age, degree and quality of residual light, type of ocular abnormality, the presence of additional handicaps, and the activities in which the child is involved. Children with bilateral optic-nerve defects never press their eyes; those with retinal disorders tend to press vigorously. A possible physiological explanation is that self-stimulation occurs when the demand of the brain for meaningful visual information is not adequately met.
