TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - A study of conceptual development and visual perception in six-year-old children JO - Perceptual and motor skills A1 - Ayhan, Aynur Butun A1 - Aki, Esra A1 - Mutlu, Burcu A1 - Aral, Neriman SP - 832 EP - 839 VL - 121 IS - 3 N2 - -Visual perception comprises established responses to visual stimuli. Conceptual development accompanies the development of visual perception skills. Both visual perception and sufficient conceptual development is vital to a child's academic skills and social participation. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between conceptual development and visual perceptual skills of six-year-old children. 140 children were administered Bracken's (1998) Basic Concept Scale (BBCS-R) and the Frostig Developmental Visual Perception Test. BBCS-R scores were weakly correlated with FDVPT Discrimination of figure-ground, and had moderate and significant correlations with Constancy of the figures, Perception of position in space, Perception of spatial relation, and the Total score on visual perception. Also, a moderate correlation was found between the total scores of the FDVPT and the total score of the BBCS-R.
