Tracking:
In a general way, teachers have learned that visual tracking refers to an eye movement and coordination ability. When a child has trouble with visual tracking it typically results in behaviors that usually involve skipping lines when reading and copying which can lead to reduced reading and writing achievement.
Saccades:
A saccade is a quick, simultaneous movement of both eyes between two or more phases of fixation in the same direction.
Changing Focus:
When eyes quickly change focus from one target to another.
Visual Discrimination:
The ability to recognize letters and words regardless of their font or style and the difference between letters that look alike.
Binocularity:
When both eyes point at the same place, move accurately and smoothly as one and create a single image.
Visual Memory:
The ability to "picture" in our minds things we've seen.
Depth Perception:
The ability to judge an object's distance and understand the spatial relationship of objects at different distances.
Eye Teaming:
The ability to use both eyes accurately and efficiently.
