Detailed explanation-1: -Physiologically, visual perception happens when the eye focuses light on the retina. Within the retina, there is a layer of photoreceptor (light-receiving) cells which are designed to change light into a series of electrochemical signals to be transmitted to the brain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Visual perception refers to the brain’s ability to make sense of what the eyes see. This is not the same as visual acuity which refers to how clearly a person sees (for example “20/20 vision”). A person can have 20/20 vision and still have problems with visual perceptual processing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Interpretation. The process of assigning meaning to visual information so that we can understand what we are looking at.
Detailed explanation-4: -Visual Processing (Gv) pertains to the ability to perceive, analyze, synthesize, and think with visual patterns and involves the ability to store and recall visual representations via visual imagery and visual memory (Carroll, 1993; From: WJ IV Clinical Use and Interpretation, 2016.
