Investigating The Association Between Visual Perception Disorders And Difficulties In First Reading And Writing

Dr Stefanos G Koutras

Abstract


Visual Perception is an important cognitive function or activity, through which the informational visual stimuli of the environment received by the sensory organs, are recognized as objects or events. The most important developmental period for the development of cognitive function of typical developed children is from 3.5 to 7.5 years, ie during their attendance in kindergarten and at the first grades of Primary School.  This research, investigate the connection of Visual Perception Disorders with the appearance of possible difficulties in the first Reading and writing attempts.

The tools of the research were the Detective Criterion of Visual Perception (AKOA 5-6) (KOUTRAS 2012) and the First Reading and Writing Test (VAMVOUKAS 2009). Moreover, the sample of the research were 300 preschool students. The analysis of the results recorded a statistically significant correlation between reading and visual and copying skills.  As far as writing is concerned, it is statistically significant in relation to visual memory, visual discrimination of letter shapes and visual enclosure.
