a tool that measures the visual perception and visual-motor integration skills in children 4-10 years old

Answer 4

Development of Test of Visual Perception

Question 5

What are the purposes why we conduct pediatric evaluation

Answer 5

• to develop an intervention
• to determine if further evaluation of child is warranted
• to decide whether child is eligible for OT service
• re-evaluation to determine the progress of child
• research / outcome testing to evaluate the efficacy of intervention services

Question 6

What are the 4 evaluation method used

Answer 6

• Standardized Assessment
• Ecological Assessment
• Skilled Observations
• Interviews

Question 7

Eval method used that is norm-referenced and criterion-referenced measurement

Answer 7

Standardized Assessment

Question 8

method used to examine the physical, social and psychological feature of a child’s development
- assessed in the natural context

Answer 8

Ecological assessment

Question 9

an essential skill of a therapist to record accurately the behavior of child in an objective manner

Answer 9

Skilled Observations

Question 10

This method is used in conjunction with other evaluation methods

• to have an accurate meaningful exchange of information with clients
• used to establish rapport with client

Answer 10

Interviews

Question 11

This provides a precise measurement of a child’s performance in a specific area. this performance is described as the “standard score”

Answer 11

Standardized Assessment

Question 12

Type of Standardized test that is developed via giving the test in questions to a large population

Answer 12

Norm-referenced test

Question 13

standardized test where the performance of the child is compared to a normative sample
- its purpose is to determine how a child performs in relation t the average performance of the group

Answer 13

Norm-referenced test

Question 14

standardized test used to provide information how children perform on a specific task

Answer 14

criterion-referenced test

Question 15

the performance of the child is compared with a particular level of performance of a particular skill (use of developmental milestones)

Answer 15

criterion-referenced test

Question 16

it measures the child’s performance rather than being compared to performance of other peers

Answer 16

criterion-referenced test

Question 17

the FOR used that organizes sensation from one’s body and from the environment to be able to use the body effectively in the environment

Answer 17

Sensory Integration

Question 18

Who developed the SI FOR

Answer 18

Jean Ayres

Question 19

this FOR explains that adequate processing and integration of sensory information is an important foundation for adaptive behavior

Answer 19

Sensory Integration

Question 20

T/F

Sensory integration follows a developmental process

Answer 20

True

Question 21

it is the appropriate action where individual responses successfully to environmental demands

Answer 21

Adaptive responses

Question 22

Activities that have the capacity to develop new skills while adjusting to the current level of function of the child

Answer 22

just right challenge

Question 23

T/F

Children have the innate drive to seek meaningful experiences from their environment

Answer 23

True

Question 24

It is the ability of the nervous system to change or develop in response to the environmental demands

Answer 24

Neuroplasticity

Question 25

This FOR is used for managing the motor skills challenges that limits the child’s participation through the use of handling techniques or guided movement

Answer 25

Neurodevelopmental FOR

Question 26

FOR used to clients that experience posture and movement impairments

Answer 26

NDT FOR

Question 27

FOR used that interprets what the child have seen

Answer 27

Visual Perceptual FOR

Question 28

T/F

A child interacting and observing others is not enough to learn

Answer 28

False

Question 29

T/F

Learning in Visual Perceptual FOR follows a developmental sequence

Answer 29

False

Question 30

VP FOR used this type of approach

Answer 30

Bottom-up Approach

Question 31

It is the efficient eye movement, which ensure that scan path is accomplished

Answer 31

Oculomotor control

Question 32

Registers the complete visual scene

- ability to look left, right, up, down

Answer 32

Visual Fields

Question 33

Ensures that visual information sent to the CNS is accurate

Answer 33

Visual acquity

Question 34

It is the thoroughness of the scan path

-ability to sustain vision

Answer 34

Visual attention

Question 35

Ability to store information in memory requiring pattern detection and recognition

Answer 35

Pattern recognition

Question 36

Organized manner of recognizing and viewing patterns

Answer 36

Scanning

Question 37

it is the mental manipulation of visual information needed

- the ability to retain the information in memory for immediate recall or to store for later retrieval

Answer 37

Visual memory

Question 38

it is the availability to mentally manipulate visual information and interpret it together with other sensory information to solve problems

Answer 38

Visual Cognition

Question 39

it is the ability to regulate or direct the mechanism essential to movement

Answer 39

Motor Control

Question 40

it is the study of movement associated with practice (e.g. experience)

Answer 40

Motor learning

Question 41

the study of how motor behavior changes over the lifespan

Answer 41

Motor development

Question 42

FOR that is concerned with the child’s ability to solve movement problems to accomplish every day functional tasks

Answer 42

Motor skill Acquisition FOR

Question 43

T/F

in Motor skill acquisition FOR, functional task must be used to organize child’s behavior or motor skills

Answer 43

True
