The purposes of this study were to examine test-retest reliability of the Test of Visual-Perceptual Skills (Non-Motor)-Revised (TVPS-R), to explore motor-free visual-perceptual skills, and to categorize subtypes thereof in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). One hundred and seventy-eight children, aged 9 and 10 years, identified as having DCD with the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (M-ABC), were assessed, along with 200 typically developing children. The results showed good test-retest reliability for the total perceptual quotient scores of the TVPS-R, but not for all subtests. Children with DCD performed significantly poorer compared to typically developing children on the visual-perceptual test, but the deficits were not common to all children with DCD. This study supported the stance that we should consider the heterogeneous characteristics of children with DCD when designing experimental studies or developing educational interventions.

Facultad de Ingeniería, Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro, Santiago de Querétaro 76010, Mexico.
Purpose: This paper investigated the visual-perceptual and visual-motor skills and the reversal frequency of letters and numbers that mirror one another in one hundred children aged 6-13 years diagnosed with poor reading skills.
Methods: TVPS-4th, VMI-6th, and RFT were performed. Age and sex analysis was carried out.
Neurodevelopmental benefits of judo training in preschool children: a multinational, mixed methods follow-up study.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the impact of judo on neurodevelopment in young children aged 4-7 years, comparing kids who practiced judo with those who did not over a 6-month period.
- Participants were assessed using specific developmental measurement tools, indicating that judo may enhance both cognitive and motor skills, as demonstrated by significant improvements in the judo group.
- Results suggest that incorporating judo into early childhood education could support central nervous system maturation, although the screening tool used for parent evaluations was less effective.
Visual perceptual artefacts in cardiothoracic imaging: Implications for diagnostic accuracy and strategies for mitigation.

Visual perceptual artefacts are distortions or illusions in medical image interpretation arising from the human visual system rather than hardware or imaging acquisition processes. These artefacts, emerging at various visual processing stages, such as the retina, visual pathways, visual cortex, and cognitive interpretation stages, impact the interpretation of cardiothoracic images. This review discusses artefacts including Mach bands, Dark Rim, Background Effects, Ambiguous Figures, Subjective Contours, and the Parallax Effect.

Action video game (AVG) playing has been found to transfer to a variety of laboratory tasks in visual cognition. More recently, it has even been found to transfer to low-level visual "psychophysics tasks. This is unexpected since such low-level tasks have traditionally been found to be largely "immune" to transfer from another task, or even from the same task but a different stimulus attribute, e.

Method: The child received the Ayres sensory integration-based intervention program for 2 months in 45-minute sessions twice a week. Before and after the intervention, Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale, Categories of Auditory Performance-II for auditory perception evaluation, Test of Early Language Development -Third Edition, Speech intelligibility rating test for evaluating language-speech skills, Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration® (EASI), and Dunn Sensory Profile for sensory processing skills were used.
