Question 2

The ability to manipulate and integrate visual inputs with other sensory information to gain knowledge, solve problems, formulate plans and make decisions.

Answer 2

Visual Cognition

Question 3

Mental manipulation of visual stimuli requires the ability to create and retain a picture of the object in the minds eye while the visual analysis is being complete.

Answer 3

Visual Memory

Question 4

Answer 4

Pattern Recognition

Question 5

Answer 5

Scanning

Question 6

An area of obtaining visual information and communicating that information with the brain. This collection of information requires several eye mobility skills including: voluntary eye movements, visual fixation, smooth pursuits (or visual tracking) and visual scanning.

Answer 6

Visual attention

Question 7
