Visual Intelligence (Gv) Definition

Definition of Visual Intelligence (Gv)

Visual intelligence (Gv) is also called ‘visual processing’ ability, and is defined as follows:

Gv abilities are typically measured by tasks (figural or geometric) that require the perception and transformation of visual shapes, forms or images and/or tasks that require maintaining spatial orientation with regard to objects that may change or move through space. Dr. Kevin S.
