Your first discussion prompt refers to an excerpt from Smith's book called Brain: Towards an Understanding. In this excerpt, the author discusses the way visual perceptions are formed by the brain. Of particular importance to those of us who are concerned with education and/or rehabilitation of persons with visual impairmets is that Smith argues: "Instead of the neuronal connections between the ‘representation’ and the motor neuron pool being built into the nervous system they must be formed during the lifetime of the individual." What does this statement (and the overall premise of the article) mean for us?
