VISUAL PERCEPTUAL SKILLS
WHAT ARE PERCEPTUAL SKILLS?
Visual perceptual processing, or visual information processing, is a set of skills we use to gather visual information from the environment, which we then integrate with our other senses. This is done while incorporating all the integrated information with other things, such as past experiences, motivation and development, so that we can derive understanding and meaning from what we are experiencing.
Visual perceptual processing is very important, but especially so when learning. Without visual perceptual processing, you would not be able to accurately learn to read, give or get directions, copy from the board or from a book, visualize objects or past experiences, remember things visually, have good eye-and coordination, integrate visual information with our other senses to do things like ride a bike, play ball, or hear a sound and be able to visually recognize where it is coming from (like an ambulance), just to name a few.
