Many studies have demonstrated individual differences in pain, such as sex and gender differences, age differences, and differences that are influenced by culture and ethnicity.
Do you see any evidence of these differences in your life? Do you experience pain differently than your spouse? Your children? Your parents, siblings or friends? Explain how this research translates to your lived experience.
Why do you think these differences exist?
If you were going to explain what these differences tell us about the biological vs. perceptional aspects of pain to the person/people you described in part (a), in plain, everyday language, how would you do so?
Humans also differ in terms of what our sensory systems detect vs. what other species do (i.e., we don’t experience the same sensory world as a dog, a snake, a bird, or a fish). While we are on the topic of differences in sensation and perception, discuss why you think there are interspecies differences in sensory systems. Bring in evidence to support your hypothesis.
Part 2: Motor Planning and Execution
Your unit reading walked you through the biological process of planning and executing motor movements (i.e., you want to get up to take the garbage out, and there is a biochemical process that is allowing you to plan that action and then execute it to achieve your goal). What did you find interesting and/or surprising from your reading, why did it surprise you, and what questions, if any, remain?
