Abstract

Components of visual perception have been studied in 85 children aged 5–8 years with normal and impaired vision, using the method of M.M. Bezrukikh and L.V. Morozova. The visual-spatial perception of children with impaired vision is already developed at preschool age. Schoolchildren with visual impairments have a lower efficiency of visual perception constancy. The integrated assessment of visual perception indicates that children with visual impairments fall behind in terms of visual analysis and synthesis.

Keywords

preschool and primary school children, impaired vision, visual perception, components of visual perception.
