ACVREP O&M EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025
Affordance - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ To gauge the
difficulty of an environment by its features— is a hill too
steep, gravel too rough to cross the area
Environmental flow - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ Perception
while moving through an area
sensory substitution - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ A process by
which information from a damaged sensory channel is
replaced by information entering via other sensory
channels.
perceptual learning - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ learning to
recognize a particular stimulus.
Unskilled perceptual learning - .....ANSWER ...✔✔
Must concentrate to focus, notice both relevant and
irrelevant, near features only
,2|Page
Skilled perceptual learning - .....ANSWER ...✔✔
Becomes more automatic, can multitask, focus on
relevant features, able to focus on distant features
motor learning - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ Acquisition of
patterns of motor control, through practice and
experience, leading to a relatively permanent change in
the capacity to produce skilled movements.
Perceptual-motor coordination - .....ANSWER ...✔✔
Coordinating motor actions with perceptions of thing in
the environment —ascending stairs
procedural knowledge - .....ANSWER ...✔✔
Knowledge of how to do something, such as riding a
bike, finding a curb
Episodic knowledge - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ memory for
places or events, episodes of experience

landmark - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ A feature in the
environment that is permanent —can be a sound, smell,
tactile or visual
Primary Landmark - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ Always
present in the environment and would be difficult to miss
as one travels along a path.
