Assessment and Intervention in Sensory Processing and Visual Perception

These flashcards cover key concepts, assessment methods, and intervention strategies related to sensory processing and visual perception as discussed in the lecture notes.

What are some assessment methods used to evaluate sensory processing skills?

Interviews, questions, clinical observations, Sensory Profile, Sensory Processing Measure, Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT).

What does a good assessment of sensory processing skills include?

It includes all sensations.

What is the purpose of a visual schedule in sensory processing intervention?

To increase predictability and organization of sensory systems.

What is a sensory diet?

Therapeutic use of sensation in daily activities.

What is sensory registration?

A tendency to generate responses that are appropriately graded in relation to incoming sensory stimuli.

What does it mean if a child is hyperresponsive during sensory integration therapy?

They have an exaggerated response to sensory stimuli.

What is visual perception?

The capacity to give meaning to what is seen, including recognition, insight, and interpretation.

What are the seven components of the hierarchy of visual perceptual skills?

1. Visual acuity, 2. Visual field, 3. Oculomotor control, 4. Attention, 5. Scanning, 6. Pattern Recognition, 7. Visual Memory.

What is binocular fusion?

Mental combination of images from two eyes into a single percept.

What is the significance of visual closure in visual cognition?

It refers to mentally completing an image that is presented incompletely.

What does visual memory integrate?

Visual information with previous experience.

What are some interventions used in visual perception development?

Developmental, neurophysiologic, compensatory.

What are some common standardized tests used to assess visual perception?

Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration (VMI) and Test of Visual Perception Skills-Revised.

What is the role of attention in vicarious learning?

It is the first step where the learner focuses on the model's behavior.

What does self-efficacy refer to in behavior modification?

The belief in one's ability to succeed in specific situations.

How does sensory integration therapy help children?

By facilitating appropriate responses to sensory input through structured activities.

What can difficulty with visual spatial relationships indicate?

Challenges in judging space between objects and planning movements.
