Exercise X - Visual Sequential Processing or "Eyes out of Orbit"



According to the PTS II manual, Visual Sequential Processing develops the ability to identify and count a specific stimulus that is repeated in a sequence of different stimuli. Visual Sequential Processing requires Temporal Visual Processing, Perceptual Speed, Visual Attention, Visual Concentration and Saccadic Fixation.

You have to count the number of times a specified stimulus appears in sequence of stimuli. The target flashes inside of a box and then a series of letters, numbers or pictures will be flashed on the screen.

Variables:

There are four types of stimuli: Pictures(very difficult because they are somehow stylized and not very clear), Upper Case Letters, Lower Case Letters, Numbers
Stimuli Size: Medium and Large.
Speed of Stimuli: there are seven speeds ranging from slow to fast.
Number of Stimuli: it varies from 20 to 60 stimuli.
Stimuli Placement Patterns: there are six progressive placement patterns utilized.

The patterns could have a fixed or a random presentation.
In the fixed presentation, the stimuli will be presented in a fixed order and location. In the random presentation, the location of the stimuli in the sequence within a level will be randomized: it could show up on random places on the screen.
At this point, the speed is very fast. Hold on to your eye balls her or they go out of the orbit :o

It improves concentration, attention and saccadic fixation and speed. Good exercise for fast music.
