Visual Perceptual Abilities Assessed
The following tasks are assessed:
→ Visual Discrimination - the ability to discriminate dominant features of different objects, including the ability to discriminate position, shapes, and forms.
→ Spatial Relationships - the ability to perceive the positions of objects in relation to oneself and to other objects. Items assess the perception of pictures, figures, or patterns that are disoriented in relation to each other, such as figure reversals and rotations.
→ Visual Memory – the ability to recognize a previously presented stimulus item after a brief interval.
→ Figure-Ground – the ability to distinguish an object from background or surrounding objects.
→ Visual Closure – the ability to perceive a whole figure when only fragments are presented.
