The ability to recognize an object or shape, regardless of what position or angle it is viewed from or with slight changes in color or size; an important element in spatial orientation and in visual skills that often gives difficulty to children with learning disabilities or other developmental disorders.
The ability to identify an object even when it is rotated, reversed, or displaced spatially. In reading, for example, it is the ability to identify the similarities and differences between the letters “p” and “q” or the letters “b” and “d”.
