Holistic aspects of visual style: a hemispheric model with implications for vision therapy.
A model is proposed relating styles of cognition and perception, modes of consciousness, and cerebral hemispheric function to visual styles and visual problems. The implications of such a model for management of vision problems are discussed. It is recommended that training for the central, eso patient emphasize procedures which are spatial, holistic, peripheral, simultaneous, and involve the use of imagery. For the peripheral, exo patient, treatment techniques should involve sequence and rhythm, analytical processing, discrimination of fine differences, and attention to detail in central areas of the visual field.
