Visual skills
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Visual skills help the brain procure information about its surroundings. Visual skills include, but are not limited to, binocular fusion (the ability to form a unified image from the two eyes), accommodative facility (the ability to re-focus rapidly from far to near and back again), and saccadic tracking (the ability to move the eyes rapidly and accurately from one word or phrase to the next).
A person who is "20/20," with excellent visual acuity, can have deficient visual skills, because skills are not closely correlated with acuity[citation needed].
Current research suggests that good visual skills, which must be learned, correlate with superior academic performance.[citation needed]
