Dr. Lea Hyvärinen PEPI, The Dalmatian in Motion

PEPI, The Dalmatian in Motion

The picture of PEPI is hidden in the background except when moving. Thus response to it means that the infant/child can perceive an image in motion. A picture of a dog interests most children, especially because it is first hidden and then suddenly appears. The test shows how well the child can

  1. fixate the central fixation target,
  2. make a quick saccad, when the dog swiftly appears in one of the corners, and
  3. use following movement across the screen.

Comments: This is an awesome visual assesment tool for special needs children. DM
