Domain 8 Module: Use of Senses (8 test questions) Flashcards
visually following a stationary line (visually trailing); maintains orientation.
tracing
visually following a moving target; used for maintaining orientation and locating targets
Tracking
systematic movement of using head and eye movement to search for targets; used for locating targets, establishing and reestablishing line of travel, finding landmarks.
Scanning
Using peripheral vision for a clear view of targets, tilting of head, or looking to the side to “look around” the blind spot.
Eccentric Viewing
student should be able to identify parts of device.
Familiarization
alignment with eye, device, and object, maintain steady balance and constant grip.
Localization/stabilization
making sure the object is clear in the device by turning the knob lift or tight
Focusing
using systematic techniques to locate a target
Scanning
following stationary lines in an environment
Tracing
maintaining constant alignment of the eye, the device, and the object being viewed while the object is moving.
Tracking
teach importance of localizing before using device
magnified image will restrict field
have student estimate the relative location of object before looking through device
place device in front of eye for positive and clearer identification
make sure body is balanced and grip is tight
localization and stabilization
instructor should focus the device before handing it to the student
teach student motor skill required to focus
student can adjust by turning the dial to the left or right as needed
student taught that identification of best focus is achieved by turning the focusing mechanism in one direction will improve the image
student is taught that objects far away are viewed through a shorter scope, and objects that are closer need a linger length to attain the sharpest image
Focusing
must be systematic
must develop and select different scanning patterns based on location and orientation of the target
horizontal target: must scan vertically
vertical target – must scan horizontally
Scanning
use device while moving head to trace alone lines in the environment
Tracing
maintain consistent alignment of eye, device, and object being viewed while object is moving
easiest when looking at objects far away due to limited field of view in device
start while student is seated ad following slow moving objects
Tracking
use a light to make the object more visible
rest viewing arm on a stable surface
use both hands to hold device
localization and stabilization
instructor focuses first
use concept of analog radio to explain focusing
Focusing
perimeter
zig zag pattern
horizontal scanning for vertical objects
vertical scanning for horizontal objects
Scanning
trace outlines of objects first
Tracing
begin seated following slow moving targets
gradually increase speed of targets
Tracking
looking around” a blind spot
eccentric viewing
