The test contains items in five categories of visual perception: spatial relationships, visual discrimination, figure-ground, visual closure, and visual memory.

This subtest aims to assess how the visual perceptual and fine motor control systems coordinate with one another. In other words, how well does the motor system produce what the visual system is processing?

Some visual perception examples that employ this kind of processing include learning new skills, like driving a car. A new driver needs to learn how to identify all relevant parts of the car, both by sight and by touch, as well as street signs and other important visual cues.

“Visual Perceptual skills involve the ability to organize and interpret the information that is seen and give it meaning.” Our eyes send large amounts of information to our brains to process every single second.
