Perceptual learning or using our senses to learn about the world around us.
It is usually taken for granted that everyone perceives common reality the same way we do.
But how many people ask themselves when a child is having problems at school or when they have an argument with someone, that they might just be having a different perspective? Or if they were able to perceive everything that was presented to them?
The good news is that the perception is a learned skill and therefore it can be altered.
Instead of labeling a child with ADD/AHD or Dyslexia it's important to know how the child perceives the world around and how the child orientates himself or herself in it...
If you want, here is an interesting research article on the topic.
I never thought about perception being a learned skill before reading this. It's actually pretty eye-opening! The tip about scheduling morning assessments for kids under 14 makes sense too - avoids fatigue skewing results. Also noticed they offer an image quality reducer tool where you can lower image quality by percentage or resolution and compare results locally without uploading. Super handy for photographers who need to reduce photo quality fast. Thanks for sharing, Orthovision!
