Devonzell Pernell I think by definition most people have "common" sense in the literal term of the word. But I feel you in that most people lack the sensibilities we feel they *should* have.
Then it's not really"common" now is it? I don't think there is such a thing as common sense. Cause what we would consider common now is totally different than 100 years ago. Liberalism is better than conservatism SHOULD be common sense. Same with vaccines don't cause autism, or that statues allow bad thoughts to greater in people's minds, hence why dictators put statues of themselves everywhere. Or with that atoms exist, or the Earth is a sphere. Many things that SHOULD be considered common sense just aren't. At one time it was common sense that the Earth was flat, or that slavery was moral and even the Bible and God backed it, or that blood had "magical" powers to heal or to keep storms away, sacrifice was common because of this magic. The list goes on and on. So yeah, common sense is not a real thing, it at the least is more subjective than people like to think
I look it up. It's a real thing! And it's not paranoia. Apparently even our eyes are designed for such purpose. Here's the link: www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-narcissus-in-all-us/201102/how-you-know-eyes-are-watching-you
Naim Noor I wouldn't automatically trust psychology today, they're a mass market magazine with a lot of bullshit pop psychology. Even when they use good science or research they have to simplify it to such a degree that it often dilutes and obfuscates the true conclusions from a study. Besides I've read reasearch papers that used one way mirrors to study this "sense" and they found no statistically significant effect. I'm not saying that the "sense" you mention doesn't exist, but there is hardly a scientific consensus that it does exist.
This video makes me think of the ones who have lost sight or feeling etc and the other sense pick up. Or people use hearing as sight. We are so limited in what we are taught in school. Thank you Vox.
There's a lot of things, intelligence wise, which could be classified as "senses" depending on how you look at them... emotional intelligence, spatial recognition/awareness, coordination (various forms, including eye to hand), pattern recognition, memory retention (long term and short term), memory retrieval (speed and accuracy), reaction speed, social adaptation, reasoning/problem solving, concept formation, language processing, association, habit reversal, volition/will/want, attention span, sequencing, language/vocabulary, computational ability, comparative analysis, innovation, imagination/creativity, comprehension, sense of self/personal awareness, compassion, etc, etc, etc.
OnideusMadHatter These are different things than the senses the video is about. The video discusses sensory senses your list on the other hand consists of things that are defined by how our brain computes them.
Quite a few of these senses are connected to the general 5 senses. It's good to teach them, but we should teach how these primary 5 diverge into subsenses. Sensing heat is part of feeling, or touch.
There's also sense of humor, sense of pride, sense of confusion, sense of direction, sense of doom, sense of awe, sense of timing, sense of wonder, sense of beauty, sense of honor, sense of duty, sense of danger, sense of fear, sense of doubt, sense of dread, sense of style, sense of worth, incense, dollars and cents, common sense, and non-sense.
My son has Sensory Integration Disorder and I plan to show him this video. It's another great tool to explain SID to him. Most people take their normally functioning proprioceptive senses for granted. Not everyone can automatically sense where their own body parts and placement are without needing to look. I.E. Walking requires many things to be coordinated at once. And we are constantly making slight adjustments based on the proprioceptive senses messages to the brain.
Another interesting one is your awareness of things around you. Not things you're touching, seeing, hearing, etc. Just... sensing. Like how most people can feel someone staring at them. We even have the ability to feel things that are near us, however most people it's quite weak. You can feel it by closing your eyes and having a friend stick a finger or a pen between your eyes, but not touching the skin or hairs. You'll get this weird tight and tingly sensation there. (Some people can do it to themselves, but it's more effective if someone else does it.)
You can indeed go the way of many senses. Split it as far as you can go. Or you can go the other way and find that there's only 'feel'. Either way, going for the middle road and saying that you have 5 is just kinda wrong indeed
I remember in kindergarten we were given a chocolate chip and told to put it on the tip of out tongue cuz that’s where we could “taste sweet”. Then we were told to put it on another part of our tongue and asked if we could taste it. Me and a few other kids said yes because we could while everyone else said no. The teacher thought we were lying because the tongue map CLEARLY said it was impossible. When I found out it was wrong I felt so proud of myself. I really want to find my kindergarten teacher and tell her that
In Canada we learn about most of these, just in kindergarten, we learn the basic 5, but we build on those in grade 1,2,3, and 4. By that time we are only missing a couple that are further taught in grade 8 and 10.
And that's the right way to educate people, built up from an understanding that is OK for early learners and then add detail and nuance as it is possible.
Goes to school Writing teacher says there is five senses Tells him there is actually more than that Gets told that's not right and fails class work grade after knowing he's not right Vox shows how it is physic and still amazing 👍
It makes sense, we're a complex machine run mostly by the brain (main processing unit) who needs a lot of feedback from the machine it runs trough senses (sensors)

I find it amusing that the textbook approach to teaching senses refutes the limited 5-sense framework, because now I think the textbook approach has taken its place as the framework guilty of being limited. We never categorize emotion, passage of time, and other non-physiological senses as senses because for some reason physiology has the monopoly on teaching senses.
We have seven senses Touch Through Skin, Smell Through Nose, Taste Through Tounge, Hearing Through Ears, seeing Through Eyes, mind Through Hearts, Intellect Through Brian's.
there's somatic and sensory senses. sensory, the five sense organs and somatic (from skin muscle tendon and joints) are epicritic, protopathic and deep. great video!
Yeah, but if you define senses as requiring external stimulus, then the classical 5 senses are still the only ones that we have. There are of course subcategories within those senses (like pain and temperature perception) but they still use the same sensory organs. All the other senses listed here like balance and spatial positioning are completely internal experiences
I don't want to get all Spiritual & Other Worldly but over the Years I feel like I have Developed/Honed other On-Earth Skills that have helped Me make Decisions & Solve Dilemmas so much!. I feel that one of them is like a Vibe (I Purposely have not used the Word Intuition because I Associate that with Intellect & Knowledge & Living Experience!), So Many times I can Assess how I will get on with Someone just by their Vibe along with their Body Language & Demeanour( The Accuracy Rate is so High that it Amazes Me!). This has Caused Me Problems in itself because I can make Very Fast decisions on People & Situations that People think I have been Haphazard but I have been Clinical instead!.
Before I see the video. Let me predict: 1) Sight, 2) Hearing, 3) Smell, 4) Taste, 5) Touch, 6) Pressure, 7) Temperature, 8) Balance, 9) Time, 10) Bodily Awareness.
This is a bit misleading. There aren't hundreds of different senses. There are 9 major senses: The traditional 5, Balance, Temperature, Proprioception and Pain. Everything else can be classified as part of these 9.
does it have something to do with which senses are easily countermandable? If you want to experience a lack of vision, you can close your eyes - something you already involuntarily do on a continuous basis during the day. but what do you do if you want to experience a lack of spatial awareness, without altering your sense of vision or touch?
Aristostle did talk about other stuff such as "the common sense". After plato most philosophers made a cutting distiction between the intelectual and sensible aspects of humans.
What I learned in school was that senses is how we get information about the EXTERNAL world. The extra senses this video talks about give info about our own body, not the external world. And if we classify temperature into skin sensory organ, I can't think of another way we get info about the external envt.
I think what aristotle was trying to do was compress all our senses into 5. As in our sense of balance is attributed to our sense of touch and sight, even smell is a case where a gust of wind is calculated by a certain smell inhabited.
Robert Kopp You're right. A sense is a faculty by which the body perceives an external stimulus; first us ed in 14th century - from the Latin sensus (12th century) which is from the Latin sentire which is from the Proto-Indo European root sent-. A sensor is an electronic device used to detect or measure a physical property; first used is in 1950 on the pattern of motor from the English sensory, but which has also come to mean sense organ.
If you define it this way, we have infinite senses. The ability to smell raspberries is different than the ability to smell paint. The ability to feel heat is different from feeling wetness. The different color cones are different senses. Five senses is just as good an approximation as 11 or 30.
I think when batters in baseball do that little bat wobble at the plate they're engaging their proprioception. When batters do a little of this they seem to hit the ball more often then then when they do a lot of it. I think when they do a little of this, they're tuning up their sense of exactly where the bat is, but when they do a lot of the wobble, they're just nervous and doing what they think they usually do. Sometimes routine helps, but understanding would lead to greater success. Teaching only five senses leads to not thinking about the others until we begin having serious issues with them. Like the sense of balance, if we trained this sense we'd be better off when we get old and begin to have noticeable balance problems. Are former professional dancers less likely to lose their balance as they get older? If I'm right about the batter's wobble, then wouldn't it help to utilize the wobble or something like it in other ways?
thank you for making this video and giving the complexity of detail it deserves. i feel like a lot of videos (not just yours, explaining videos in general) like to point out the complexity of the topic at hand without giving credit for why the world simplifies it. for example, you could have said: "there are more than five senses, and we've been teaching children something incorrect all this time". but you included reasoning for why children are taught the simple albiet the incorrect, thus explaining the complexity of the situation at hand. so thank you for not dumbing the facts down!
When you really think about it, is it possible there's only one sense, the sense of touch? Everything we come in contact with must touch the nerves and receptors in our bodies in order for us to perceive what it is we are experiencing. For example, a scent must touch the nerves in our nose in order for us discern what we are smelling, no? Another example would be when something touches the tongue. Only then we're able to determine the taste of something.
Sad that some people don't believe these basic scientific facts. It makes them feel smarter to use false skepticism, I guess. Read a medical text or ask a neurologist. Evaluating these senses is part of a detailed neurological exam.
Irene Haralabatos If you look at the things listed from the video, they all branch out to the original 5 senses. So its still 5 senses. You cant just branch off and claim them as different senses. Yes, there are different "sensors", but they are part of at least one of the 5 senses. These are the real scientific facts.
Propriocrption is its own sense. We learned this in medical school. There is also a vestibular sense that causes vertigo when it malfunctions. ENT physicians see this all the time.
To me it comes down as a definition of sens. I was taught a sens was used to identify a object, you cant use bodily awareness or balance to identify a apple, you need a sens for that. however we also have a array of detectivities witch help us know the position of our selves and objects in our surrounding such as depth perception and sound location so if one counts detectivities as senses then yes, we do have more than 5 but if you narrow it down to the body's abilities to identify foreign objects then i cant think of more than 5. Do you?
*We learned this in medical school.* Exactly. Unfortunately a lot of what people learned in kindergarten seems to override more nuanced and accurate understanding. Dramatically simplifying is necessary for education but the way we do it ends up causing a lot of problems later on.
Most of the time we're not really aware of senses like proprioception but it's possible for us to become very aware of them. I had a really nasty injury of the "learn to walk again" variety and one of the things that I had to do during the course of PT was to redevelop my lower limb proprioception, which is highly dependent on input from the limbs. It's very difficult and takes a long time to do.When toddlers fall down they're developing their sense of proprioception!
1:17 this made me think of the fact that today was the first time I ever played baseball (softball with small changes in the rueles to be precise). It was fun.
Well what if we only have 5 senses, and all the other senses you mentioned are sub categories of the main 5 senses. Example: Is there a sense other than the 5 senses which your body perceives when all your 5 senses are removed? The video gave the example of balance, well what if i were to remove your sensation of the skin im sure it affects your balance too, so balance is not completely independent of touch. Another misconception is the sense touch, touch doesn't mean only physically touching object, touch incorporates the sensation you feel through the skin/muscles. So all your other senses are sub divisions of a combination of 5 senses.
Well, duh. The sixth sense is *SPIDEY SENSE.*

According to some classifications we have 30+ senses.
There's a lot of things, intelligence wise, which could be classified as "senses" depending on how you look at them... emotional intelligence, spatial recognition/awareness, coordination (various forms, including eye to hand), pattern recognition, memory retention (long term and short term), memory retrieval (speed and accuracy), reaction speed, social adaptation, reasoning/problem solving, concept formation, language processing, association, habit reversal, volition/will/want, attention span, sequencing, language/vocabulary, computational ability, comparative analysis, innovation, imagination/creativity, comprehension, sense of self/personal awareness, compassion, etc, etc, etc.

Sense of direction, sense of time, sense of danger, sense of trust, sense of distance, sense of dimension, parent sense of check on the kid, etc...

"I won't change my mind on anything, regardless of the facts that are set out before me. I'm dug in, and I'll never change."
for some reason i read the title as "When you have more than five senses" like a meme lmao
There's also sense of humor, sense of pride, sense of confusion, sense of direction, sense of doom, sense of awe, sense of timing, sense of wonder, sense of beauty, sense of honor, sense of duty, sense of danger, sense of fear, sense of doubt, sense of dread, sense of style, sense of worth, incense, dollars and cents, common sense, and non-sense.

Old news to anyone that's taken anything beyond an introductory neuroscience course. Thanks for the pleasantly formatted/produced review!
A sense is just anything you can call a sense.
A sense of humor, time, space, etc
sensing emotion could also be one, you can usually tell someones emotion just by hearing them and you dont even have to look at them
Isnt that the sense of hearing in a way?
I'm actually teaching kindergarten students about the senses! This video is really mind-opening
"Begs the question" is not the same as "raises the question", which is what you meant. Begging the question is using the question to answer itself.
Plus, you can argue smell and taste is pretty much the same sense: lose one, and you lose the other
It makes sense, we're a complex machine run mostly by the brain (main processing unit) who needs a lot of feedback from the machine it runs trough senses (sensors)

Thank you for reminding me to open my eyes, I was so high I just kept them closed.
Before I see the video. Let me predict: 1) Sight, 2) Hearing, 3) Smell, 4) Taste, 5) Touch, 6) Pressure, 7) Temperature, 8) Balance, 9) Time, 10) Bodily Awareness.
I dont think time is a sense like the others, but yeah you're right
When hiking in the mountains you can 'sense' at which height you are through the change in pressure against your eardrums.
So if I trip over my feet on a regular basis and can't catch a ball should I be concerned?
This is a bit misleading. There aren't hundreds of different senses. There are 9 major senses: The traditional 5, Balance, Temperature, Proprioception and Pain.
Everything else can be classified as part of these 9.

Wait... I thought we already knew we had more than 5 senses
Remember a simpler time when there only 5 Senses? Pepperidge Farm remembers...
I'd argue that the additional senses presented in the video are extensions of other senses, or combinations of the common five senses.
I'm clairvoyant. Add that to the list.
There is a difference between "senses" and "sensors"...
Robert Kopp You're right. A sense is a faculty by which the body perceives an external stimulus; first us ed in 14th century - from the Latin sensus (12th century) which is from the Latin sentire which is from the Proto-Indo European root sent-.
A sensor is an electronic device used to detect or measure a physical property; first used is in 1950 on the pattern of motor from the English sensory, but which has also come to mean sense organ.

To me it comes down as a definition of sens. I was taught a sens was used to identify a object, you cant use bodily awareness or balance to identify a apple, you need a sens for that. however we also have a array of detectivities witch help us know the position of our selves and objects in our surrounding such as depth perception and sound location so if one counts detectivities as senses then yes, we do have more than 5 but if you narrow it down to the body's abilities to identify foreign objects then i cant think of more than 5. Do you?
*We learned this in medical school.* Exactly. Unfortunately a lot of what people learned in kindergarten seems to override more nuanced and accurate understanding. Dramatically simplifying is necessary for education but the way we do it ends up causing a lot of problems later on.
fun to watch, thanks for the demonstration. this is inspiring and just in time with the new year in the near future.
Anyone else immediately try standing on one leg with their eyes closed after watching this?
Most of the time we're not really aware of senses like proprioception but it's possible for us to become very aware of them. I had a really nasty injury of the "learn to walk again" variety and one of the things that I had to do during the course of PT was to redevelop my lower limb proprioception, which is highly dependent on input from the limbs. It's very difficult and takes a long time to do.When toddlers fall down they're developing their sense of proprioception!
Well, this makes sense
This video makes a lot of sense
1:17 this made me think of the fact that today was the first time I ever played baseball (softball with small changes in the rueles to be precise). It was fun.
The lady with the blind fold has knock knees so her balance is already off by default.
Well what if we only have 5 senses, and all the other senses you mentioned are sub categories of the main 5 senses.
Example: Is there a sense other than the 5 senses which your body perceives when all your 5 senses are removed? The video gave the example of balance, well what if i were to remove your sensation of the skin im sure it affects your balance too, so balance is not completely independent of touch.
Another misconception is the sense touch, touch doesn't mean only physically touching object, touch incorporates the sensation you feel through the skin/muscles. So all your other senses are sub divisions of a combination of 5 senses.
