Visual Perceptual Skills

The most common visual tasks such as reading or visual guidance of walking require us to analyze impressive amounts of information at high rates. Reading is a crucial component of full participation in society as quoted by Gordan in his article1. [Gordan et al., 1985]. There are two fundamental skills involved in the growth and wellbeing of the children, they are broadly categorised into visual motor skills and visual perceptual skills.
The Visual motor skills are imbibed unto children by the visual information which is perceived and converted into action. The visual motor skills are recurrently needed by the children for all the definite gestures that they produce so as the visual perceptual skills. Any deviation from the normal will cause …show more content…

It is the ability to resolve the visual information that encirclesus. Without the appropriate level of visual perceptual skills, the children may have difficulty withlearning to read, play, and good eye hand coordination2.The visual perceptual skills include several key components such as Visual discrimination, Form constancy, Figure ground, Spatial relations, Visual closure, Visual sequence, and Visual memory. When these aspects of visual information are not perceived accurately it cannot be integrated with other senses3. [Swearingen A, 2007]. The two standardized tests for assessing the non motor skills are Test for Visual Perceptual Skills (TVPS) and Motor free Visual Perceptual Test (MVPT) by the Occupational therapists [Mc fall]. Both the tests have predrawn configurations and designs which the child has to identify or indicate by any means5. [Mccarthy, …show more content…

The ability to see smaller letters that subtend the visual angle at the eyes at 5minutes of an arc is the only aspect which is being considered primarily. The capability of the eyes to see the small targets alone are not the predictor of good eyes, whilst the potential of the eyes to read and write for extended period of time without any discomfort and distortions is crucial. Such a symptomless reading should be the outcome of any extensive eye care. The reading difficulties also emerge from subtle changes or visual deficits.Visual stress is another aspect of visual dysfunction that hasbeen overlooked universally. It is the ailment which hampers the ability to read. It is known that Visual stress is a condition which was profound in the individuals with dyslexia but notably it is prevalent in the general population6. [Wilkins, 2007]. It is the experience of unpleasant visual symptoms when reading for prolonged period of time. The two categories of the symptoms of visual stress are discomfort, the second as visual perceptual distortions and illusions. Visual stress also has various manifestations. Its association with migraine influence 10% of the population in addition encounter reluctance to light all along and amidst their headaches. These visual stimuli which

Figure 1 is a summary of the students’ learning throughout the learning segment. I administrated this test as a pre-assessment prior to the lesson one and administered it again after the completion of lesson 3. This test is a compilation of students’ learning and it demonstration how they met the standards and objectives that were set out for them to achieve. The evaluation criteria in which this assessment and all other assessment in the individual lessons did was not altered. Even though the students have different learning needs, the assessment met all of the needs for all learners.

In Piaget’s cognitive stage, children from birth to the age of two go through this stage. In this stage, infants are developing the ability to coordinate their sensory input with there motor skills. An example would be, when kids are playing with toys and put the toys in their month and feel with their mouth. Infants also develop object Permanence. The object Permanence is when a child recognizes that objects continue to exist even when they are no longer visible.

My Observation Summary In the video from Pals Daycare, I observed three infants who were sitting on the floor and the teacher was sitting next to them. Each baby were holding wooden blocks or sticks, and the teacher was holding and empty jug and was trying to get the babies to put the blocks/sticks into the opening of the jug. Two of the babies did not seem to understand what to do with the blocks/sticks. They did not try to put them into the jug, but the third baby seemed to understand a little, and he did put it in the opening of the jug but did not understand to drop it into the jug.

A) Sight (with their eyes)– children use their sight to investigate the world by looking at things to learn their colours and look at different items, objects, things and animals . They can learn to recognise people by recognising their faces. They use their sight to see how things operate when in use. It is important to get them to use their speech and language to tell you what they see. B)

Once upon a time about 30 years ago, I was just a little girl who wanted to explore the world. I wanted to explore the world through reading, but like many I wasn’t there yet. So here is the story about how I became a reader. With this week readings I learned that a child’s reading foundation can play a major part in how they comprehend things later in life.

Practitioner observes a specific child, and the outcome of the observation will enable practitioners to plan for that child. A practitioner may observe a child in the mark- making or writing area and notice that the child finds it difficult to hold a pencil. The practitioner would then plan activities that would develop fine motor skills, such as threading or sorting small objects.

Infants’ self-initiated visual preferences to implicate that even at an early age, it is preferable to focus their attention on stimuli that enhances their learning and cognitive development. In addition, infants contribute to their own cognitive development through their observation of cause and effect. One of the major ways in which infants develop knowledge on cause and effect is through the observation of the physical world around them (Baillargeon,

Reading is an essential life skill. The ultimate goal of reading is to comprehend and make meaningful connections with text. Therefore, the development of skills needed for reading begins at an early age and progresses through stages into adulthood (Chall, 1996). Within the early stages of reading development, children begin learning and acquiring these specific skills. Moreover, many of the skills learned during early childhood are constrained skills.

Cognitive abilities enable children to process the sensory information that they collect from the environment. According to Wood, Smith and Grossniklaus (2012), Piaget defined cognitive development as the progressive reorganization of the mental processes that results in biological experience and maturation. As numerous researchers have explained, children normally undergo many changes from birth to adolescents, most of them being growth related. According to Cook (2005), the changes in thinking is what researchers call cognitive development. In toddlers, cognitive development is observed through the early use of tools and objects, the child’s behavior when objects are moved in front of them and their understanding when objects and when people are in their environment.

A major debate in the field of child cognitive development is whether certain aspects of development are learned or innate. It is a continuation of the classic dispute between the nature vs nurture elements of development. The chapter and articles delve into this debate with visual and auditory perception in children and provides empirical evidence towards whether or not infants are born with the ability to detect and distinguish these perceptions. There is a large consensus that perceptual functioning in children reaches adult like levels fairly quickly during the first year of development Siegler (2005).

According to her age, C’s cognitive abilities should be at the beginning of Piaget’s concrete operations stage, which lasts from 7 to 12 years of age. At this stage a visual schema for art expression develops, and children become able to symbolize objects in relation to each
