    New visual screening tests, including blue color matching and visual language field development, are linked to poor school achievement. Early detection of these visual problems may identify students needing learning support.

    Area of Science:

    • Educational Psychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Visual processing skills are crucial for academic success.
    • Traditional screening methods may not identify all learning-related visual issues.
    • Emerging visual assessment tools offer new diagnostic possibilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate three novel screening tests for visual problems.
    • To investigate the association between specific visual skills and school achievement.
    • To explore the developmental trajectory of blue color matching proficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of three screening tests: blue color matching, visual language field development, and visual scan speed.
    • Assessment of visual problems in relation to school performance.

  • Analysis of blue color matching development in children under 10.

    • Main Results:

    • Difficulties in blue color matching and visual language field development correlated with poor school achievement.
    • Blue color matching proficiency was underdeveloped before age 10.
    • Blue matching difficulty was linked to poor visual language field development, but not slow visual scanning.

    Conclusions:

    • The described visual screening tests can identify students at risk for learning difficulties.
    • Early identification through these methods allows for timely intervention.
    • Targeted support can be provided to students with specific visual processing deficits.
