A patient with a standard score of __________ on a VIP test would be at the 50th percentile.

Standard

A patient's ____________ score on a VIP test is based on the mean of 100 with a certain standard deviation.

Raw

A patient's ____________ score on a VIP test is the score the patient receives based upon correct and incorrect responses.

Scaled

A patient's _____________ score on a VIP test is based on a range of 1-19.

Jordan Left-Right Reversals Piaget test of Left/Right Concepts

2 tests that can assess Visual-Spatial ability:

Woodcock-Johnson III battery Children's Color-Trail test

2 tests that can be used to assess Visual Attention:

Developmental Test of Visual Perception (DTVP) Test Information Processing Skills (TIPS) Test of Visual Perceptual Skills (TVPS)

3 tests that can be used to assess Visual Analysis ability:

Visual Spatial skills Visual Analysis skills Visual Attention Visual Processing speed Visual-Motor integration skills

5 broad categories of VIP that are linked to learning:

Visual Discrimination Visual figure-ground Visual closure Form constancy Visualization Visual memory

6 components of Visual Analysis that can be tested and improved:

Visualization

A component of Visual Analysis that involves ability to "picture" people, ideas, and objects when they are not physically present:

Visual Memory

A component of Visual Analysis that involves ability to recall visually presented material:

Visual Closure

A component of Visual Analysis that involves awareness of clues in the visual array that allow discrimination of the final percept without all of the details being present:

Form constancy

A component of Visual Analysis that involves recognition that a form is the same in various environments, positions, and sizes:

Visual Discrimination

A component of Visual Analysis that involves recognizing familiar faces, objects, numbers, letters, and words:

Visual figure-ground

A component of Visual Analysis that involves the ability to attend to a specific feature or form while maintaining awareness of the relationship of the form to the background:

10

A patient with a scaled score of _______ on a VIP test would be at the 50th percentile.

Laterality

Awareness of the right and left sides of the body is called:

Trouble learning alphabet Trouble recognizing words Trouble with basic math concepts Overgeneralizes when classifying objects

Common symptoms in patients with Visual analysis skills difficulties:

Makes careless errors in school work Difficulty keeping attention to activities/play Forgetful Squirmy Reactive, answers questions before completely asked

Common symptoms of patients who have Visual Attention difficulty:

Poor athletic performance Tendency to work more with one side of the body Difficulty learning left from right Reversing letters/numbers when writing/copying Writing from right to left

Common symptoms of patients with Visual-Spatial difficulties:

Slower reading speed than expected Copying from board is slower Difficulty completing assignments on time Student knows material but doesn't perform on exams as well as expected

Common symptoms of patients with reduced Visual Processing Speeds:

Difficulty copying from board Poor handwriting Difficulty completing written assignments on time Difficulty placing numbers in proper columns on math problems

Common symptoms of patients with visual motor skills difficulties:

Directionality

Does the Jordan Left-Right Reversals test assess Laterality or Directionality?

Laterality

Does the Piaget test of Left/Right Concepts assess Laterality or Directionality?

Part A: subject's body parts, pt sits next to examiner "show me your right hand", "point to your left eye", etc. Part B: examiner's body parts, pt sits across from examiner "show me my left hand", "point to my right ear", etc.

Explain how the Piaget test of Left/Right concepts works:

Visual Modality tasks subtest: Letter strings presented on cards, pt recalls letters in order in between interference tasks

Explain how the Test of Information Processing Skills (TIPS) works:

Visual-spatial

If you are training a patient's laterality/directionality skills, you are training their _____________________ skills.

Reading Fluency Letter Word ID Word Attack Visual Matching (we don't usually do)

Name the 4 subtests of the Woodcock-Johnson III battery:

Learning disabilities

Reduced Visual Processing Speeds are commonly seen in patients with:

Visual attention & executive skills Visual motor skills

The Children's color trail test primarily measures _________________________ and secondarily measures ___________________________.

Visual Processing Visual Attention

The Woodcock-Johnson III battery primarily measures _____________________ and secondarily measures ________________________.

Developmental Test of Visual Perception (DTVP): Eye-hand coordination and copying subtests WOLD Sentence Copying

What 2 tests assesses visual motor skills?

Figure-ground Visual Closure Form Constancy

What 3 aspects of Visual Analysis can be tested by the DTVP?

Activation Sustained attention Effort Alertness Selectivity Central Processing Capacity Automaticity

What are the 7 aspects of Visual Attention that can impact learning?

Woodcock-Johnson III battery

What battery of tests can be used to assess Visual Processing Speed?

All 7 tests are for aspects of Visual Analysis: 1. Visual Discrimination 2. Visual Memory 3. Spatial relationships 4. Form Constancy 5. Sequential Memory 6. Visual Figure-Ground 7. Visual Closure

What does the Test of Visual Perceptual Skills (TVPS) test? What are its 7 subtests?

When the patient receives 3 consecutive "0"s.

What is the ceiling for all of the sub-tests of the Test of Visual Perceptual Skills (TVPS)?

No ceiling *Award 0 points if pt lifts pencil from paper!!*

What is the ceiling for the Eye-hand coordination and Copying subtests of the DTVP?

When the patient receives 3 consecutive "0"s.

What is the ceiling for the Figure-ground, Visual Closure, and Form Constancy portions of the DTVP?

In Short-term recall, when there are 2 consecutive errors For Working memory tests, no ceiling

What is the ceiling for the Test of Information Processing Skills (TIPS)?

3 subtests of Woodcock-Johnson III: Reading Fluency, Letter Word ID, and Word Attack

What tests are used as a method to set the Visagraph at an appropriate level?

Automaticity

Which aspect of Visual Attention is also related to Visual Processing speed?

Visual motor skills

________________________ involve a patient's ability to coordinate visual information processing skills with motor skills.

Visual Analysis skills

_____________________________ are skills in which visual information is recalled, reorganized, and/or manipulated.

Visual-Spatial skills

______________________________ involve ability to understand directional concepts that organize external visual space.
