CHAPTER 3 PERCEPTION

Discussion Questions

Questions - Spatial Ordering

1 Why might a child with spatial ordering problems have difficulty with math concepts and/or computation?

2. Why might visual spatial ordering problems be confused with attention problems?

3. What would an ideal battery of tests look like for assessing spatial ordering and production? Why do we need to use motor-free tests of visual perception?

Questions - Temporal/Sequential Ordering

1. What are the developmental signs of temporal sequencing problems.

2. Children with temporal/sequential problems are often seen as taking "strong right brain" approach to learning. What is a strong right brain approach? Why might a child develop in this way?

3. How do temporal/sequential problems effect higher-order thinking and metacognition/ organization?

4. What other processing problems might be confused with sequencing problems? Why?
