Background: The present study aimed to explore the effect of motor independent and dependent visual perception practices ondynamic visual acuityand depth perceptions among children aged 7-8 years.Materials and methods:One hundred and seven primary school students were randomly selected through purposive sampling and divided into two experimental groups (visual perception exercises dependent vs independent to movement) and a control group. Experimental subjects were trained for 6 weeks and each week constituted three 45-minute sessions suited for their own planned training sessions. Analysis of Variance analysis (ANOVA) for within and between-group andKruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon tests were used to analyze the depth and dynamic visual acuity perception respectively.Results:The results indicated that motor independent and dependent training had improved the components of depth perception and dynamic visual acuity in children aged 7-8 years, but there was no significant difference between these two training methods.Conclusion:This conformed movement Pyne&Issac’shypothesis (2005), which stated that the important issue in the development and adjustment of visual perceptual components is not an individual's movement, but selective attention to moving objects.
