A fascinating book about the old yet modern and in subject of imagery and visualization, particularly as they relate to performance, dealing with visual imagery and written language, understanding visual imagery, visual imagery and spoken languages, and the power of visual imagery. The primary goal of this book is to examine visual imagery as very specific visual skill and make a distinction from visualization and visual memory. The author takes a look at the whole subject of visual imagery, its implications, applications and ramifications as it relates to total visual function and visual performance.

The Third Edition of Understanding and Managing Vision Deficits is the go-to resource that will enable occupational therapists to develop a comprehensive understanding of vision, appreciate the various effects vision problems can have on the practice of occupational therapy, and to more effectively manage patients with vision disorders. Understanding and Managing Vision Deficits: A Guide for Occupational Therapists, Third Edition is a unique collaboration from occupational therapists, optometrists, and low vision rehabilitation specialists. Dr. Mitchell Scheiman presents a unique Three Component Model of Vision that includes: Visual integrity: Includes visual acuity (clarity), the optics of the eye, and eye health Visual efficiency skills: Includes focusing, eye teaming, and eye movements Visual information processing skills: Includes the ability to analyze, interpret and respond to visual information A major emphasis of the new edition is on management of eye movement, visual information processing, visual field, and low vision problems. Therapy suggestions have been expanded and the use of computer software has been incorporated into the therapy. Some Additional Chapter Topics Include: Visual problems associated with learning disorders Visual problems associated with acquired brain injury Management of vision problems for children with special needs Low vision Features of the Third Edition: Updated figures, research, and references Incorporates current American Occupational Therapy Association Practice Framework Glossary of key terms Appendices that include a vision screening report form and low vision supplies and equipment Understanding and Managing Vision Deficits: A Guide for Occupational Therapists, Third Edition will continue to bring the professions of occupational therapy and optometry together and will guide health care professionals to provide the ultimate in patient care.

This book provides a practical, clinical approach appropriate to a subject of increasing importance in an aging population. It contains a survey of the causes, types, manifestations and incidence of partial sight or low visual acuity. Detailed consideration is given to the examination and assessment of visually impaired adults and children. The author describes the importance of lighting, color contrast and other non-optical aids to vision and discusses the advisory role that the optometrist can play in helping the patient make the best use of residual vision.

This book revolutionizes how vision can be taught to undergraduate and graduate students in cognitive science, psychology, and optometry. It is the first comprehensive textbook on vision to reflect the integrated computational approach of modern research scientists. This new interdisciplinary approach, called "vision science," integrates psychological, computational, and neuroscientific perspectives. The book covers all major topics related to vision, from early neural processing of image structure in the retina to high-level visual attention, memory, imagery, and awareness. The presentation throughout is theoretically sophisticated yet requires minimal knowledge of mathematics. There is also an extensive glossary, as well as appendices on psychophysical methods, connectionist modeling, and color technology. The book will serve not only as a comprehensive textbook on vision, but also as a valuable reference for researchers in cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, computer science, optometry, and philosophy.

This book addresses the limited information on vision training and the importance of having knowledge of superior visual skills in our everyday, individualised environment including the classroom, workspace, and sports setting. It is an instruction manual explaining vision training in terms of what it can be used for and who can benefit from it. The manual provides examples of over 200 exercises of 23 different visual skills, covering fundamental and advanced skills, also including visual perceptual skills and sport-specific skills. It explains the tests that an eye-care professional can do to determine the level of a patient/athlete’s visual skills to regulate where improvement needs to be done. Written in a concise manner and supplemented with insightful visual materials, the book will allow the reader to formulate an individualised program according to the needs of the patient/athlete.
