Visuospatial Reasoning

It’s our last full week of NaPoWriMo (National /Global Poetry Writing Month) and the A-Z Challenge. I hope you’re enjoying the A to Z of Depth. from “Visual-Spatial Ability Test” at ScienceDirect Did you ever take a test with images like the ones above? If so, you were asked to look at the image on the left and imagine it as a 3-D object, then turn it in your mind and choose what it would look…

My Experience with Occupational Therapy

I went to occupational therapy (OT) mainly for sensory processing when I was nine and again when I was twenty. I have sensory sensitivities. I also have motor coordination challenges that are not very noticeable by untrained observers. I found that it was helpful to go to OT again when I was twenty because I had changed and the science had advanced, so my situation was different. 

When I was nine, and my mom told me that I was going to go to occupational therapy, I assumed that because it was medical, it would be scary, so I said that I did not want to go. It turned out to be fun. I swung on things and bounced on things. At the end of the session, I played games, such as Pictionary with clay, which helped me practice my hand strength.

When I was twenty, I chose a functional goal of grocery shopping, because I wanted grocery shopping to feel easier. My mom would drop me off at the grocery store once a week. I did a program in which I exercised while I listened to altered music to reduce my auditory hypersensitivity. I did exercises to work on the coordination of how my eyes moved (called visual tracking), and exercises to help me with the skill of finding objects in a visually cluttered background. Then when I went grocery shopping, it was easier to tolerate the music and to find the items I needed.

Occupational therapy did not erase all sensory challenges for me, but it noticeably reduced the challenges and made them more manageable. I recommend OT, and I recommend trying it as and adult even if it did not work for you as a child.

That’s great. I have to resort watching Demon Slayer on an iPhone, now that my dying iPad is taking longer to respond to a charger.

Optical illusion: Crocodile or boat? What you see first REVEALS the secret of your personality - Times of India

Optical illusions have recently sent the internet into a tizzy, as they get our brain to exercise, and can be the perfect test of our observational skills and keen eye. An optical illusion, in essence, is a visual phenomenon where the brain misinterprets what the eyes are perceiving at that moment. It occurs when the information sent by the eyes mismatches with how the brain processes and…

Hello people of Tumblr!

My name is Sam, I'm a PhD student in the UK. I'm looking at the Neuroscience of visual perception, particularly visual stress often seen in conditions like Irlens syndrome.

If you would like to help me with my research, please could you take part in the below survey looking at urban and natural images.

https://uos.questionpro.eu/t/AB3u2BxZB3v0qn

More information is provided in the survey and once you click in there is no pressure to finish the survey.

Thank you so much for your help and I hope to update this space with more info as I progress through my studies.

Early Childhood - Geometric Solids

This student is very focused while learning the names of geometric solids! This work enhances vocabulary and language skills as students learn to accurately describe different shapes. all while improving tactile discrimination and fine motor skills as students handle and explore the various solids. Additionally, it fosters spatial awareness and visual perception, helping students understand how shapes relate to one another and to the space around them. By engaging in this hands-on learning, children develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they compare, contrast, and categorize the shapes. This foundational knowledge in geometry prepares children for more complex mathematical concepts in the future.

Illusions

Ehrenstein Illusion The most salient phenomenal attribute of the Ehrenstein illusion is the apparent brightness enhancement at the centre of the configuration, the latter being systematically perceived as brighter (Fig 1a) or as darker (Fig 1b) than the general background, the brightness enhancement effect being more pronounced than the darkness enhancement (Spillmann, Fuld, & Gerrits, 1976).…

What are Visual Perceptual Skills?

Visual perceptual skills are ways our brains make sense of visual information at a subconscious level. For example, depth perception is a visual perceptual skill.

Here are three examples of other visual-perceptual skills:

Form constancy is the ability to recognize an object as the same object even when you look at it from different angles.

Visual closure is the ability to “fill in the blanks” to recognize the shape of something that is only partly visible. For example, if someone drew a heart and then erased parts of it, you would probably still be able to tell that it is a heart.

Figure ground is the ability to see the difference between the foreground and the background. For example, can you find the item you are looking for in a crowded grocery store? If you are driving, can you notice the obstacles in the road?

Occupational therapists (OTs) and developmental optometrists assess visual perceptual skills. OTs prescribe activities that help their clients practice visual perceptual skills.

Julia

So? 90’s habits still apply to me in the digital age.
