What Is Visual Perception Means ?
Defintion:
• Visual Perception is the ability to see and interpret
(analyze and give meaning) the visual information
from the environment.
Visual Perception make ability to turn raw data
supplied by retina into cognitive concepts of the
perception of space and objects that can be
manipulated and used for decision making.
Working
Visual perception happens when the eye focuses light on
the retina. Within the retina, there is a layer of photoreceptor
(light-receiving) cells which are designed to change light into a
series of electrochemical signals to be transmitted to the brain.
Visual perception occurs in the brain’s cerebral cortex, the
electrochemical signals get there by traveling through the optic
nerve and the thalamus. The process can take a very little time 13
milliseconds to process those sensory information which it
sensed from environment.
How Visual Perception Works
• It occurs through visual processes
Visual Input From Environment to eye
pathway from retina to geniculate nucleus to primary
visual cortex
Input travel from primary visual cortex to prefrontal lobe
for complete visual processing
• The visual cortex is the part of the cerebral cortex
responsible for processing visual information, and is
located in the occipital lobe
• The term visual cortex refers to the primary visual
cortex(also known as striate cortex or V1) and extra
striate visual cortical areas such as V2,V3,V4 and V5
Components of visual perceptual processing
Visual Perceptual processing can be defined in a
Pyramidal model.
It consist of process of visual cognition, visual memory
pattern, pattern recognition, visual scanning and visual
attention.

Visual Cognition: It is ability to manipulate and integrate visual inputs
with other sensory information to gain knowledge, solve problems, formulate
plans, and make decisions.
Example :
In this image it can be detected that
the both person stand at distance
Visual Memory
• The mental manipulation of visual stimuli requires
the ability to create and retain a picture of the object
in the mind's eye while the visual analysis is being
completed
Example:
Pattern Recognition
• Before visual image can be stored in memory, and
individual must recognize the pattern making up the
image.
• Pattern Recognition which sub-serves visual memory
in the hierarchy, it involves identifying the object from
surroundings.
Example:
EF
TL
VISUAL SCANNING
It is accomplished through the use of saccadic
(Quick) eye movement. A saccade is a movement of
the eye towards an object of interest in the
environment.
VISUAL ATTENTION
• Visual Scanning is, a actually product of
Visual Attention
Visual Search Occurs on two Levels
An Automatic or reflexive Level: (controlled by brain stem)
Any Novel object moving or sudden appearing in the
peripheral visual field, such as a flash of light. This
response serves to protect an individual from
unexpected intrusion in the environment
• Oculomotor Control: It enables eye
movement to be completed quickly and
accurately and ensures perceptual stability.
• Visual Fields : Which lets the brain know what's
going on in the environment.
• Visual Acuity: Ensures that the visual
information sent to brain is accurate.
Key Components of VISUAL PERCEPTION
Perception is based on the following seven elements.
1. Visual discrimination: Visual discrimination is
ability to distinguish one shape from another.
2. Visual Memory: The ability to remember a specific
form when removed from your visual field.
3. Visual-Spatial Relationships: This is the ability to
recognize forms(objects) that are the same but may be in a different
spatial orientation.
4. Visual Form Constancy : Visual form constancy is the
ability to discern similar forms that may be different in size, color, or
spatial orientation and to consistently match the similar forms or shape.
5. Visual Sequential Memory : The ability to recall two to
seven items in sequence with vision occluded.
[Link] figure/ground : The ability to discern discrete forms
when camouflaged or partially hidden.
7. Visual Closure: The ability to recognize familiar forms that
are only partially completed.
Application OF VISUAL
