Overcompensation_Of_Senses

Overcompensation Of Senses When blindness occurs whether it from birth or from disease, the other senses seem to aid the brain in making do without vision. It may seem like there is a compensation for the lack of one sense, but researchers have found this not to be the case. According to the research, there is no apparent specific compensation of the visual sense by the other senses because with the lack of the central sense of vision, the other senses are newly focused on. Even with this new awareness of the other senses, the results of tactual perception and the learning of motor skills are relatively equal to that of people with no visual impairment. The new awareness of other senses by a blind individual would make it seem like a compensation of the other senses for the lack of vision, but due to research into this subject some researchers have concluded that it is this awareness of other senses that allows for a blind person to function in everyday life, not a heightening of those senses. When a person becomes blind he/she will come to rely on their other senses to the best of those senses abilities.
