Visuospatial Cognition

Meaning

Visuospatial Cognition is a complex set of cognitive abilities that involves the perception, manipulation, and understanding of visual and spatial information about objects and their relationships in the environment. This includes skills such as navigation, object recognition, mental rotation, and the coordination of visual input with motor output. It is a critical function subserved primarily by the parietal lobe, and its decline is often an early marker of age-related neurological change.
