Surface appearance effects often make material objects pretty. The definition of function often places a higher priority on protecting the person's safety than keeping them happy and occupied. The people who pay for our services have an impact of the definition of function that needs careful, ongoing scrutiny. Their rights to be happy and occupied are functional too. The justifications for the arts and humanities apply to them too.

Primary Effects

To know what a secondary effect is, you have to know what the primary effect is.

The person's attention to a surface appearance is followed by creating an image of a secondary effect on the surface appearance.

A primary effect may be imagined first because the secondary effect is usually a consequence of the primary effect. Anticipating the consequences of wet floors or icy roads have primary effects of sliding and secondary effects of injuries. Creating images of effects that are not perceived requires the presence of unchanged material objects, such as a wet floor.

The pauses to create images may be accompanied by movements of the pupils of their eyes.

They are able to consider the secondary effects on surface appearances as potential problems and allow for extra time to adjust when needed.

Their sustained attention time is usually heavily influenced by their opinion of the whole project. The priorities of other people tend to be given limited consideration in their overall sustained attention time.

Their response time is within normal limits with flexibility being momentary. Impulses are usually inhibited when they are connected to surface appearances.

Attention to secondary effects requires the formation of images of what might happen in the future. Attention is captured by the material objects, but the person pauses to think before acting. During the pause, the person creates images of cause and effect connections. The imaginary images are compared to past images stored in the person's long-term memory. A final evaluation of the images may be prolonged by a discussion of the options and possible secondary effects before the person does anything.

Secondary consequences of surface appearances enters the scale in ACL 5.6. The person can remember details of surfaces appearances and the results from past experiences. This helps the person prevent past errors and negative consequences in relation to surface appearances. They have the ability to stop and think and compare past memories before proceeding.

Within ACL 5.6 the person requires one hint to complete three single cordovan stitches.

They are able to judge secondary consequences on surface properties during the stenciling activity and will prevent surface property mistakes by taping down the stencil without cues, and practicing new effects on scrap paper.

They will prevent bubbles from occurring on the vinyl covering by smoothing the bubbles out before they begin to iron the vinyl in place.

Primary to secondary effects are a predictable chain of events that can be anticipated ahead of time. To anticipate, the person may create an image of what might happen, which seems to require the presence of the materials objects that will be affected. The sensory cues to be affected have surface appearances.

These coffee cans were covered by precut strips of ribbon. Rather than turn the can to check the back, people functioning within ACL 4.4 usually bend over the can to reach the back. When a therapist came along and rotated the can, they often had a mild startle reaction, as if they thought the can was nailed to the table.

When people are feeling vulnerable they may request a specific, familiar supply which is related to the materials being used but not needed with this particular project. Regard this as their invitation to discuss what they have done in the past, which may give you some clues about what will appeal to them now.

Examples of some work activities when people dislike crafts include:
