standardized assessment -Answer--Empirically developed evaluation tools with
established statistical reliability and validity. Requires all test takers to answer the
same questions in the same way. It is scored in a consistent way so that you may
compare performance of individuals or groups of individuals. Two types of
standardized assessments: norm-referenced and criterion-referenced.
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
