The researcher provide 3 kinds of visual processing assessment: visual discrimination, visual memory/visualization, and visual-motor integration. The first assessment shows that the children in this age recognized and well-discriminated the visual shapes provided. On the second assessment, he memorized where the specific shapes laid on, then he got the correct recognitions.
