GLOBUS EXAM 1 COMPREHENSIVE TEST
2026 STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS TESTED SOLUTIONS
●● Non standardized assessment.
Answer: Informal assessment that therapists conduct to see where
strengths and abilities are. Can measure skill or progress, but do not
compare to peers.
●● Normative-referenced assessment.
Answer: Standardized tests designed to compare and rank test takers in
relation to one another. Usually reported as a percentile ranking
●● Criterion referenced assessment.
Answer: Standardized tests that measure and individual's performance
against a set of predetermined criteria or performance standards. It is
desirable to earn a perfect score.
●● V-P Hierarchy.
Answer: Top to bottom (get bigger each layer down):
-adaptation through vision
-visuocognition
-visual memory
,-pattern recognition
-scanning
-attention=alert and attending
-oculomotor control; visual fields; visual acuity
●● Spatial relations.
Answer: lthe ability to perceive the positions of objects in relation to
oneself and to other objects. Tests objects disoriented in relation to each
other, such as figure reversals and rotations.
●● Visual closure.
Answer: the ability to perceive a whole figure when only fragments are
presented
●● Agnosia.
Answer: inability to recognize and name an object using vision, can
identify it when using tactile input
●● Areas of the MVPT (motor-free visual perceptual evaluation) and
how they are assessed.
Answer: Motor-Free Visual Perceptual is an ideal assessment because it
does not require the client to have any motor skills other than pointing to
a designated answer if nonverbal. With this assessment a raw score is
obtained which is then converted to a standard score. Also includes a
,confidence interval and percentile ranking as part of the standardization.
Tests...
visual discrimination: look at this, now find the one exactly like it here
visual memory: tested by having the person look at one object for 5
seconds, then the therapist turns the page and must find it among 4
objects
visual closure: Test asks, "If we finished drawing these figures and didn't
move any of the lines, which one would look just like the one on top"?
spatial relationships: Test asks, "Which one of these has been flipped
over"?
figure ground: Test asks, "How many of this shape do you find here"?
●● Differences between skills assessed by the MVPT and the VMI
(visual motor integration test).
Answer: MVPT does not use motor skills while VMI does. VMI is
designed to identify deficits in visual perception, fine motor skills , and
hand-eye coordination.
●● What is convergence?.
Answer: Oculomotor function; ability to maintain focus as an object
moves toward you
●● Low vision.
Answer: an impairment that interferes with occupational performance,
cannot be corrected medically, but allows some usable vision.
, ●● Cognitive skills such as executive functions.
Answer: organizing info and regulating response. the ability to problem
solve, plan, organize, make decisions, establish goals, monitor work, and
initiate and terminate tasks
●● Ulnar, median, and radial nerve distribution.
Answer:
●● Visual perception.
Answer: ability to cognitively translate what we see into meaning;
dependent on the integration of lower level processes
●● Visual perceptual impairment may occur due to.
Answer: deficits in foundational sensory or motor components which
may lead to faulty learning
●● Visual perceptual hierarchy.
Answer: higher level functions dependent on three basic visual functions
- oculomotor control, visual field, and visual acuity
●● Visual Discrimination.
Answer: lthe ability to discriminate dominant features of different
objects, including the ability to discriminate position, shapes, and forms.
