Pattern recognition depends on many variables.
For older children, there are a myriad of workbooks available with many paper and pencil tasks (similar to the ones we have shown here) that will exercise these perceptual processes. They must be selected so that they will provide maximum opportunities for success, and so that they will progress in small steps from simpe to more complex tasks.
6. Pattern Recognition: We have talked about pattern preference, in which a child seeks patterns and processes them without recognition. But at what age do children begin to recognize things. Darned if I know!
There are so many variables involved that it makes it difficult to make any meaningful generalization. For example, a definition of recognition depends upon many factors.
