| Annotation | Sensory stimulation involves the stimulation of the senses of smell, touch, taste, hearing and balance, using equipment which is either low-tech (everyday objects) or high-tech (complex objects specifically designed for sensory stimulation). In this review of treatment or care research in sensory stimulation, the authors have found it useful to look consider research in the fields of learning disabilities and persistent vegetative state (PVS). While this may not necessarily find answers for professionals involved in dementia care, some questions are raised concerning the treatment, theoretical and methodological perspectives of sensory stimulation.
