VPDSD EXAM TEST PAPER
QUESTIONS SOLUTIONS GRADED
A+
◉ 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.
◉ Visual Memory. Answer: the ability to recognize a previously
presented stimulus item after a brief interval
◉ Figure-Ground. Answer: the ability to distinguish an object from
background or surrounding objects
,◉ Visual Closure. Answer: the ability to perceive a whole figure
when only fragments are presented
◉ Right-left discrimination. Answer: inability to discern the
difference between L vs. R
◉ Stereopsis. Answer: inability to perceive depth in relation to self
and objects in the environment
◉ Prosopagnosia. Answer: inability to recognize and differentiate
faces
◉ myopia. Answer: nearsightedness
◉ hyeropia. Answer: farsightedness
◉ presbyopia. Answer: impaired vision as a result of aging
◉ uncorrectable vision impairments and low vision. Answer:
include visual acuity and visual field deficits that impacts person's
ability to complete everyday activities
◉ Visual acuity. Answer: Sharpness of vision when person fixates on
target
, ◉ visual field. Answer: the whole area that you can see without
moving your head or eyes
◉ Saccades. Answer: Oculomotor function; quick eye movements
that change fixation from 1 point to another - looking for someone in
a crowd, reading a chapter with headers
◉ Smooth pursuits. Answer: Oculomotor function; when tracking
and following moving targets
◉ Binocular Dysfunction. Answer: convergence insufficiency
◉ Visual search. Answer: ability to selectively attend to, disengage
from, and shift visual attention to find new targets
◉ Hemi-inattention. Answer: lack of attention to one side, usually
left (may also have impaired sensation of that side), miss or bump
into things on that side, may or may not be aware of deficit
◉ Hemi-neglect/Unilateral neglect. Answer: severe hemi-
inattention, may not be aware of deficit, which means poor
functional outcomes
