Visual differentiation is the ability to recognize and distinguish between similar and dissimilar things — including in the area of symbols. When a child has difficulties in this area, they lack the ability to filter out subtle differences. Things that look visually similar are not recognized as different. For example, h and k or o and a may be perceived as identical, which naturally leads to errors in reading and writing. These games specifically train the ability to perceive fine visual differences in the symbol domain.

Function

Visual Recognition — Identifying same and different in the symbol domain

Significance

The child must match the number of dots (visual impression) to the correct number symbol. This trains distinguishing and correctly assigning visual impressions in the symbol domain.

Training effect

Strengthens the ability to recognize and distinguish same from different in the symbol domain — a fundamental skill for learning letters and numbers.

Function

Visual Recognition — Matching symbols to visual quantities

Significance

The child must match a number symbol to the correct dot pattern. This requires careful observation and distinguishing in the symbol domain — similar to distinguishing between letters.

Training effect

Trains the recognition and differentiation of symbols and their visual meaning, as is constantly required when reading and writing.

Function

Visual Recognition — Distinguishing similar images

Significance

Children with differentiated visual recognition cannot filter out minor differences. Visual things that look similar are not recognized as different — just as h and k or o and a get confused.

Training effect

Sharpens the ability to perceive fine visual differences. Those who can reliably distinguish similar images can also better tell apart similar-looking letters.

Function

Visual Recognition — Matching shape, fill color and outline color simultaneously

Significance

The child compares nine geometric pictures using three features: shape, fill color and outline color. Some choices differ in only one feature. This helps the child practice noticing small visual differences.

Training effect

Sharpens the ability to process multiple visual features at once, strengthening the fine discrimination needed for reliable letter and number recognition.
