Packet #43

This exercise primarily stimulates your client’s visual attention and concentration skills. Indeed, they will have to pinpoint relevant information, differences among stimuli, and visually scan for relevant details. Whenever a person is presented with a new set of symbols, such as when they are learning to navigate traffic signs for the first time, your client can apply the skills they used to successfully complete this activity.

Have you tried to copy dance moves you see on TV? In this exercise, you will have to mentally connect the fireflies correctly to recognize the pattern that they are making. This exercise trains visual attention skills, working memory, and visual-spatial skills. Your client must learn strategies to examine information, make decisions using the details present, and arrive at an informed conclusion.

The ability to effectively manipulate objects mentally allows us to make decisions as to what an object is, where to place an object in space so that it does not fall, and helps us create a plan for how to navigate our environment. This task aims to train your client’s visual mental imagery skills, specifically their mental rotation abilities. Indeed, your client must visualize elements in a pattern, identify the surface patterns of 3-D objects, create a mental image of them, visualize their rotations, and make comparisons in order to decide whether the objects are the same or different.

This exercise trains your client’s visual and spatial skills and their working memory. Your client must find the identifying characteristics of an object, store them in their working memory, and then access the relevant details into a whole figure using mental visualization. They must then mentally disentangle the complex figure into its component parts using attention to detail as this will help them distinguish the objects comprising the figure.
