What Do These Exercises Train?
Points of View
Location, distance, direction, and perspective are
characteristics of spatial orientation that affect how we
gather, process, and use visual information. This exercise
trains your client’s logical, visual, and spatial reasoning
skills since they have to mentally visualize different objects
in a map from different points of view. Your client must
analyze the shapes and the distances between the different
elements of the scene that they are observing.
Sleight of Hands
Mental rotation is the main ability used in this exercise. This
skill usually takes place in the right parietal region of the
brain where perception occurs. Mental rotation comparison
tasks can be broken down into five components: (1)
create a mental representation of an object, (2) rotate the
representation until a desired configuration is reached for
comparison, (3) compare the rotated configuration , (4)
decide if the representation and physical object are the
same or not (5) report the decision and re perform these
steps until correct solution is reached.
Entangled Figures
This exercise trains your client’s visual and spatial skills and
their working memory. Your client must find the identifying
characteristics of an object, store them in their working
memory, and then access the relevant details into a whole
figure using mental visualization. They must then mentally
disentangle the complex figure into its component parts
using attention to detail as this will help them distinguish
the objects comprising the figure.
Turn Around and Around

The ability to effectively manipulate objects mentally
allows us to make decisions as to what an object is, where
to place an object in space so that it does not fall, and
helps us create a plan for how to navigate our environment.
This task aims to train your client’s visual mental imagery
skills, specifically their mental rotation abilities. Indeed,
your client must visualize elements in a pattern, identify
the surface patterns of 3-D objects, create a mental image
of them, visualize their rotations, and make comparisons
in order to decide whether the objects are the same or
different.

Bridging Questions
Points of View:
Think about a time when you had gotten lost in a mall, store, airport, or even in a parking
lot. What clues did you use to help you find your way back?
Sleight of Hands:
We use features of objects to tell us about their orientation. For example, we can use
the thumbs on our hands to help us tell if a hand is a left or a right hand. When hands are
gesturing or covered up in accessories, this may make it harder to do. What strategies
do you use to help yourself orient objects in space when they are in motion, decorated,
or when certain features are covered up?
Entangled Figures:
This exercise can be overwhelming with the amount of detail that you are handling.
How might you go about approaching a problem with a high amount of detail in a
calm and tactful manner? What strategies can you implement to help yourself not get
overwhelmed by the amount of detail needing to be attended to?
Turn Around and Around:

Sometimes people lose objects or misplace them. Sometimes, they may leave them in a
position that may make it hard to recognize them. What features of objects do you use
to recognize them when they aren’t in an orientation that you expect them to be in?
