Visual perception and space tools
Seeing a cup among the clutter on a tray, recognizing a face from a half view, working out which way a key goes in: perception is the step before action. When it is slow, the hands look clumsy and reading takes longer than it should.
These tools take it one piece at a time. Figure & Ground finds shapes in overlapping outlines. Visual Closure completes a picture from a part. Block Design copies a pattern from blocks, on the screen or with real ones. Mental Rotation and Spatial Reasoning turn figures in the mind.

Figure & Ground
Pick target shapes out of overlapping outlines, or count every shape.
Block Design
Copy a two-color block pattern on the screen or with real blocks.
Visual Closure
Work out what the missing part is and pick the complete picture.
Mental Rotation
Judge whether a figure has been turned or mirrored, timed.
Spatial Reasoning
NewSee how a figure turns, then turn the next the same way.
Using these tools
- Block Design with real blocks is a good first task for someone who finds screens tiring; the screen only deals the designs.
- Visual Closure and Figure & Ground have a visibility dial; start easy and keep the round under a few minutes.
- The rotation tools time every answer; a steady time across angles is a better sign than a fast one.
Practice and cognitive stimulation tools, not assessments or treatment. Nothing about the people who practice is stored.
