day twelve: visual information processing Flashcards
visual perception is a ____process
developmental process
the visual perception is the total process responsible for the
of visual stimuli
reception - sensory
congition - mental function
of visual stimuli
This FOR addresses the child who is unable to
efficiently process and utilize visual input
numerator
represent the distance at which a subject recognizes a stimulus
denominator
the distance at which the letter being viewed could e identified by a person with normal visual acuity
visual acuity ensures that
visual information is sent to the CNS accurately
oculomotor control
ability of the extrinsic eye muscles to move the eye
- which ensures that a scan path is accomplished
accomodation
the ability of the eye to compensate for blurred vision
binocular fusion
ability to combine two images from both eyes into one image
steropsis
binocular depth perception (ability to detect 3 dimensional vision)
convergence/ divergence
ability of the eyes to move inward (medially) or outward (laterally) simultaneously
fixation
ability of the eyes ot maintain a focused gaze on an object
smooth pursuit
ability of the eyes to maintain a steady fixation of an object in movement across a scan path (tracking)
saccadic movements:
ability of the eyes to quickly shift gaze from one point to another point
visual attention
the thoroughness of the focus to visual information
visual attention requires:
alertness selective attention visual vigilance and divided or shared attention
visual memory
the mental manipulation of visual information needed for visual cognition and requires the ability to retain the information in memory of immediate recall or to store for later retrieval
visual discrimination
the ability to detect distinctive features of a visual stimulus is different from or the same as others. it involves:
- recognition
matching
sorting
the three things at the bottom of the hierarchy structure:
oculomotor control
visual fields visual acuity
oculomotor control
efficient eye movement ensures the scan path is accomplished
visual fields
register the complete visual scene
scanning
the ability of the retina to record all of the details of the scene systematically through the use of the scan path
pattern recognition
ability to store information in memory requiring pattern detection and recognition
- identify salient features of an object including configurable aspects
visual cognition
ability to mentally manipuate visual information and integrate it with other sensory information to solve problems formulate plans and
