Study Notes
Cognitive & Visual Perceptual Skills
-
Cognitive skills are the ability to understand information and experiences. Basic cognitive skills include orientation, attention, memory, following instructions, and initiation. Higher-level skills include planning, sequencing, reasoning, and problem-solving.
-
Visual perception is how the brain interprets what the eyes see. It's different from visual acuity. Visual perception is essential for age-appropriate play, self-care, and academic skills like reading and math.
Visual Perception Subcategories
-
Visual discrimination is the ability to distinguish between different shapes, colors, sizes, letters, and numbers by recognizing differences or similarities. It supports skills like matching, sorting objects by shape and color, and accurate word recognition. Deficits cause problems with left/right discrimination.
-
Visual memory is the ability to remember and recall visual information when the stimulus is gone. This skill is crucial for learning, as up to 80% of learning is visual.
-
Visual sequential memory is the ability to recall words, symbols, or sentences in the proper order. This skill is critical for reading and spelling.
-
Visual spatial relationships are understanding directional concepts in space. Children with deficits may have trouble with spatial relationships like above/below, front/back, right/left, in/out, which can impact academic tasks.
-
Visual form constancy is recognizing a shape or form remains the same regardless of size, orientation, color, or dimension. Children needing this skill may struggle with recognizing letters, numbers or symbols in different contexts.
-
Visual closure involves recognizing a complete object from fragmented information or a partial picture. This is essential for reading and spelling fluency.
-
Visual figure-ground is distinguishing an object from its background, recognizing figures embedded within a larger scene. It helps with concentration, attention, and organized behavior and is connected to ignoring irrelevant information.
Assessment Tools & Curriculum
-
Standardized assessment tools include the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale (PDMS-2), Beery Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration, and others.
-
The Carolina Curriculum is focused on children with special needs, with components for attention and memory, concepts and imitation, visual perceptual skills (matching, sorting), visual perceptual skills (blocks and puzzles), problem solving, and reasoning, and visual-motor integration.
-
Intervention activities are designed to support these skills. They can include visual tasks such as matching, sorting, puzzles, and block building.
