The Impact of our Eyes on Learning and Life
Most of us assume that if our vision is fine, our eyes are doing all they can for us. Really though, eye tracking abilities are critical to reading, writing and many aspects of everyday life.
From how well eyes move in coordination with one another to the ability to maintain visual concentration and focus over time, we can identify where a person shows strength and where improvements can be made.
The results of our carefully designed tracking assessments provide in-depth insights into the reasons people struggle with skills dependent on effective eye movement;
- Reading (and comprehension), writing and spelling
- Spatial awareness (driving and general observation)
- Sporting skill precision and consistency
The Assessment
This 15 minute eye tracking assessment will lead you to find out so much about yourself or your child, things like;
Coordination of Both Eyes
When both eyes move equally in the same direction, reading and focusing on precise details come more naturally.
Response Time
The time it takes to move the eyes to a new location may be indicative of the time and energy it takes to process information.
Accuracy
Moving eyes to the desired location on the first try is ideal. When the eyes over or undershoot, adjustments must be made, which can be tiring and can also result in missing words, letters or even entire pages.
Watching the movement of the eyes when reading is a true revelation – suddenly the reason for the struggles is obvious.
What poor eye tracking can affect
Reading - Difficulties tracking can make you much slower and less fluent. Making processing and retaining information when reading difficult
Concentration - Constantly have to re-read things so that your brain can process them better is tiring and affects focus and concentration
Spelling - With poor eye tracking the reader sees the letters in a scrambled way so learning to spell that work feels impossible
Sporting Ability - is essential for precision hand-eye coordination, an athlete's focus, trajectory estimations, and many other key elements during a match.
