[Visual object and space perception battery: normal values for children from 8 to 12].
BACKGROUND
Diagnostics of central visual perception is a relevant branch of developmental medicine and neuropsychological diagnostic efforts of morphological or functional lesions of the brain. However, no assessment battery for testing the central-visual perception in German-speaking children exists. PROBANDS AND METHOD: In 30 children, aged 8 - 12 years, the Visual Object and Space Perception Test Battery (VOSP) was applied.


RESULTS
The group values were documented as standard values. Instructions and aims of the tests were well comprehended by the children.


CONCLUSIONS
The VOSP is well applicable to children. Further studies examining correlation between the VOSP and clinical data are warranted.
