Visual Perception Flashcards
What is visual perception?
Brain’s ability to make sense of what the eyes see
Diagnosis with high risk for perceptual challenges
SPD or Learning
Stroke
TBI
CP
Visual analysis skills
Skill that help your brain understand what your looking at
How we analyze details
Visual-Spatial relations
Spatially related to yourself and other things in the environment
Abstract visual form system
Using the ventral stream
Stored and processed in nonspecific order
Really quick info to make designs about movement
Specific Visual Form System
Uses Dorsal Stream
Slower and more detailed
used to distinguish specific aspects of a form
Form Constancy
look at the details of stimuli and be able to recognize it no matter the orientation
Ex.) knowing words no matter font or color
Visual Discrimination
Ability to be aware of and distinguish features of form
Needed to recognize common objects
Utilizes details of color, shading and texture
Figure Ground
locate things in the foreground and ignore the background
Need depth perception, visual memory and fixation
Visual Closure
Able to determine what an object is even if a part is missing
Correlates with cognitive skills most
Develops later than other areas
Visual Memory
Being able to recall past information
Long term- integration of info from previous experiences
Short term- hold info briefly (30 sec)
Sequence of Spatial Relations Development
- Awareness of own body
- Understanding one object to another 3D
- understanding relation of 2 D objects
- Develop awareness of before applying (up, down, over, under)
What lobe is related to Spatial relation deficits
parietal lobe
Where does body awareness behin
Bilateral integration
Brain using both sides of body at the same time
Monocular cues for depth perception
Accommodation
Sharpness of focus
Object coming towards you appears larger
vividness of color
Binocular cues for depth
Need 2 eyes to align
Size and shape of image are compared and merged
Convergence, proprioceptive info from eye muscles tells us distance
When does depth perception begin
3 months of age and continues to develop until age 6-7
Topographical Orientation
Ability to follow a familiar route
Follow and drawing a map
Is an advanced perceptual and cognitive skill
Requires many perceptual skills
