Sensory deprivation

 At first I didn’t know anything about what was sensory deprivation and I think i never had heard that word before if it wasn’t because of pshchology.
At the beginning of the video I didn’t knew anything about what sensory deprivation was. Now I know it is a process, which deprives someone of normal external stimuli such as sight and sound for an extended period of time. I can imagine if I had this it would be horrible no to see, smell, taste, touch or hear.
 This so sensory deprivation in some cases. The mental ability to process information is part if the harsh treatment on people with this problem they say it impacts the vision, social interaction, language and memory.  Scientist used this to see how it affected the people. In this video called alone it was about this six people who were volunteered it would take 48 hours. This people what they needed to o was to be in a room alone and to not talk to anyone and to be isolated.  They were really bored some walked and spume didn’t others hallucinated things that weren’t there each one of them had a different affection. This is all cause of a lack of stimulation.
