VISUAL PERCEPTUAL SKILLS
| Term | Definition | Assessments | Observation |
|---|---|---|---|
| VISUAL PERCEPTION | - The process of organizing & interpreting visual input to give meaning. - Integrates sensory information, cognitive processing, and motor responses. | ||
| 2 key components of visual perception | visual receptive skills and visual cognitive functions | ||
| 1. Adaptation 2. Through Vision 3. Visual Cognition 4. Visual Memory 5. Pattern Recognition 6. Scanning 7. Attention = Alert and Attending 8. Oculomotor Control, Visual Fields, Visual Acuity | Warren’s Hierarchy of Visual Perceptual Skills | ||
| VISUAL RECEPTIVE FUNCTIONS Visual Fixation | - Ability to maintain steady visual gaze on a single object. - Foundation skill for tracking and reading. | ||
| VISUAL RECEPTIVE FUNCTIONS Accommodation | - Ability to adjust focus between near and far objects. - Essential for shifting attention from desk → board in classroom. | ||
| VISUAL RECEPTIVE FUNCTIONS Binocular Fusion | - Ability to combine input from both eyes into a single image. - Supports depth perception and reduces double vision. | ||
| VISUAL RECEPTIVE FUNCTIONS Convergence & Divergence | - Eyes moving inward (convergence) or - outward (divergence) for near/far tasks. - Important for sustained near work like reading. | ||
| VISUAL RECEPTIVE FUNCTIONS Saccadic Eye Movements (Saccades) | - Quick, precise shifts of gaze between two targets. - Example: scanning a line of text while reading. | ||
| VISUAL RECEPTIVE FUNCTIONS Visual Pursuits (Visual Tracking) | - Smooth following of a moving object. - Example: watching a ball in sports. - Meaning “gumagalaw” | ||
| VISUAL RECEPTIVE FUNCTIONS Visual Acuity | - Sharpness or clarity of vision (near and far). - Supports recognition of letters, numbers, and details. | ||
| VISUAL RECEPTIVE FUNCTIONS Oculomotor Control | - Coordination of the eye muscles to ensure stable, efficient movement and alignment. - Prevents eye strain and supports sustained visual attention. | ||
| VISUAL COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS | This is our focus as OTs. | ||
| VISUAL COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS Visual Attention | - Ability to focus on relevant visual information and filter out irrelevant stimuli. - Foundation for all higher-level visual processing. | ||
| VISUAL COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS Visual Memory | - Ability to store visual information for immediate or late recall. - Example: remembering spelling words or a pattern of shapes. | ||
| VISUAL COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS Visual Sequential Memory | - Ability to remember a sequence of visual stimuli in the right order. - Critical for reading, math, and multi-step tasks. | ||
| VISUAL COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS Visual Discrimination | - Ability to detect differences and similarities in objects (size, shape, color, position). - Supports letter and number recognition. | ||
| VISUAL COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS Visual Spatial Relations (Position in Space) | - Ability to understand the position of objects in space and in relation to self. - Needed for concepts like left/right, reversal errors, handwriting alignment. | ||
| VISUAL COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS Visual Form Constancy | - Ability to recognize an object as the same despite changes in size, position, or environment. - Example: recognizing a letter "a" in different fonts. | ||
| VISUAL COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS Visual Closure | - Ability to identify a whole object when only parts are visible. - Example: recognizing a word when some letters are smudged. - “pans” -> “pants” (missing t, yet you still know the word is pants) | ||
| VISUAL COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS Visual Figure-Ground | - Ability to locate and focus on a visual stimulus within a busy background. - Example: finding a toy in a cluttered room or a word on a crowded page | ||
| VISUAL COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS Visual Imagery | - Ability to form mental pictures in the absence of visual stimuli. - Sometimes described as part of higher-level visual cognition; overlaps with visual memory & reasoning. | ||
| TYPES OF VISUAL ATTENTION Selective Attention | - Ability to focus on relevant visual information while ignoring distractions. - Example: reading a book in a noisy classroom. | ||
| TYPES OF VISUAL ATTENTION Sustained Attention (Vigilance) | - Maintaining visual focus over time. - Example: scanning text for comprehension during a 20-minute reading activity. | ||
| TYPES OF VISUAL ATTENTION Alternating Attention | - Shifting focus back and forth between two tasks or stimuli. - Example: copying notes from the board (looking up, then down to paper repeatedly). | ||
| TYPES OF VISUAL ATTENTION Divided Attention | - Processing or monitoring two sources of visual information at the same time. - Example: listening to the teacher while simultaneously following along in a textbook. | ||
| OBJECTIVE PERCEPTION | - Under Visual Discrimination - Ability to recognize and identify the physical properties of objects - form, color, size, shape, texture. - "What?" | ||
| SPATIAL PERCEPTION | - Under Visual Discrimination - Ability to understand the position of objects in space and their relation to each other and to oneself. - "Where?" | ||
| TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT - INFANCY (BIRTH-1 YR) | - Primary development of visual-receptive functions (fixation, tracking, acuity). - Visual exploration guides reaching and grasping. | ||
| TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT - INFANCY (BIRTH-1 YR) By 6 months: | depth perception, binocular vision, color recognition. | ||
| TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT - INFANCY (BIRTH-1 YR) Toys: | mobile, rattle (black white and red has still no color recognition) | ||
| TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT - TODDLERHOOD (1-3 YRS) | - Improves visual attention & memory for object permanence and recognition. - Begins using form constancy (recognizing same object in different sizes/positions). - Plays with simple puzzles, shape sorters. | ||
| TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT - PRESCHOOL (3-5 YRS) | - Rapid growth in visual discrimination - Figure-ground and visual closure emerge. - Spatial relations improve (above/below, in/out, left/ right). - Uses drawing and block play to practice visual-motor integration. - More schemas are formed | ||
| TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT - KINDERGARTEN / EARLY SCHOOL AGE (5-7 YRS) | - Visual sequential memory develops → crucial for reading, spelling, copying. - Greater efficiency in visual scanning and attention. - Handwriting, letter recognition, and math concepts rely heavily on VPS. | ||
| TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT - ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (7-10 YRS) | - Refinement of all subskills (discrimination, memory, spatial relations). - Can sustain visual attention for longer academic tasks. - Uses visual-perceptual skills for reading comprehension, problem-solving, and organization. | ||
| TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT - OLDER SCHOOL AGE / ADOLESCENCE (10+ YRS) | - VPS support complex learning tasks, abstract reasoning, and efficient study skills - Skills become automatic for reading, note-taking, navigating environments - Deficits at this stage usually reflect underlying delays from earlier stages | ||
| CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO DEVELOPMENT OF VPS Biological/Medical Factors | - Prematurity, low birth weight - Visual impairments (acuity, strabismus, oculomotor dysfunction) - Neurological conditions (CP, TBI, developmental delay, ASD, ADHD) - Genetic syndromes | ||

| VP PROBLEM FUNCTIONAL MANIFESTATIONS Associated Academic/Occupational Impacts: | - Delayed reading/writing skills - Slow copying from board - Frustration with puzzles, mazes, or organized play (nahihirapan talaga, not temperamental issues) | ||
| TESTING FOR VISUAL RECEPTIVE FUNCTIONS OT's Role: | Screens receptive functions functionally (tracking toys, eye movements, depth tasks in play, reading behavior). | ||
| TESTING FOR VISUAL RECEPTIVE FUNCTIONS Optometrist/Ophthalmologist: | Provides standardized clinical measurement (acuity, refraction, fusion, stereopsis). | ||
| TESTING FOR VISUAL RECEPTIVE FUNCTIONS Best practice: | OTs screen and refer if deficits suspected. | ||
| How to test Visual Fixation (steady gaze on a target): | - Ask the child to look at a small target (e.g., pen tip, sticker) for several seconds. - Observe for drifting, poor sustained attention, or eye wandering. | ||
| How to test Visual Pursuit (tracking/ smooth pursuit): | - Move an object (pen, light, toy) slowly in an "H" or circular pattern. - Child follows with eyes only (head stabilized if possible). - Look for jerky movements, overshooting, or loss of target. | ||
| How to test Saccadic Eye Movements (quick shifts between targets): | - Place two targets (e.g., stickers, pencils) about 8-10 inches apart. - Ask child to quickly shift gaze between them. - Errors: over/undershooting, slow initiation. | ||
| How to test Visual Acuity (clarity of vision): | - Use age-appropriate eye charts (Snellen, LEA symbols, HOTV). - Refer to opto/optha for comprehensive testing. | ||
| How to test Visual Accommodation (focus shift near + far): | - Ask child to focus on a near object, then quickly look at a far object, and back. - Look for delays, blurred vision, or difficulty shifting focus. | ||
| How to test Binocular Fusion (combining input from both eyes): | - Cover test: cover one eye, uncover, and observe for realignment (strabismus). - Worth 4-dot test (optometry tool). - Clinical signs: double vision, head tilt. | ||
| How to test Stereopsis (Depth Perception): | - Stereo Fly Test, Randot test (3D images with polarized glasses). - Functional: reaching for objects, pouring water. (overshooting or undershoot) | ||
| How to test Convergence & Divergence (eyes moving inward/outward): | - Hold small target (pen tip) ~16 in. from nose. - Slowly bring it toward nose (convergence). Watch for eye drift or double vision. - Move it outward (divergence). - Note: Near point of convergence should be <6 cm in children. | ||

| Omissions | - leaving out parts of the design. | ||
| Additions | - adding extra, unnecessary lines or features. | ||
| Distortions | - inaccurate reproduction (shaky, curved, uneven). | ||
| Misalignments | - poor alignment or spacing of elements. | ||
| Rotations | - turning or flipping the design. | ||
| Incorrect proportions | - parts of the design too large, too small, or uneven | ||
| Integration errors | - difficulty combining parts into a cohesive whole.k | ||
| TEST OF VISUAL MOTOR SKILLS 3RD ED.

| Ceiling | = 3 consecutive errors → testing can be stopped. | ||
| BEERY-BUKTENICA DEVELOPMENTAL TEST OF VISUAL-MOTOR INTEGRATION 6TH ED. Interpretation (1): | - Low VMI Core Score → difficulty integrating visual perception with motor output. - Comparing VMI vs. Visual Perception vs. Motor Coordination scores helps: | ||
| If VMI + Motor Coordination low, VP normal → | motor issue | ||
| If VMI + VP low, Motor Coordination normal → | perceptual issue | ||
| If all low → | global VMI deficit (visual perception and motor output are problematic) | ||
| BEERY-BUKTENICA DEVELOPMENTAL TEST OF VISUAL-MOTOR INTEGRATION 6TH ED. Interpretation (2): | - Must always interpret in the context of functional performance ADLs. - Do not use it as stand alone | ||
