Peer reviewedAylward, Elizabeth H.; Schmidt, Steven – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1986
Kindergarten children (N=103) were administered three tests of visual-motor integration: Bender Gestalt Test, Beery Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration and Geometric Design subtest of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. Issues discussed include interscorer reliabilities, correlations among scores, correlations…

Peer reviewedJongmans, Marian J.; Smits-Engelsman, Bouwien C. M.; Schoemaker, Marina M. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
This study examined consequences of the comorbidity of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and learning disability (LD) for the severity and pattern of perceptual-motor dysfunction. Compared to children with only DCD, those with DCD and LD had poorer perceptual-motor ability, with particular difficulty performing manual dexterity and balance…

Peer reviewedKavale, Kenneth; Mattson, P. Dennis – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1983
The study reports the findings of a meta-analysis, the application of statistical methods of data synthesis from individual studies, reviewing 180 studies assessing the efficacy of perceptual motor training. Perceptual motor training was not found to be an effective intervention technique for improving academic, cognitive, or perceptual motor…

Peer reviewedCummins, Robert A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1991
This study reexamines factor analyses from which A. J. Ayres claimed to have identified perceptual-motor factors found in the scores of children with learning disabilities but not normally learning children. The reappraisal finds no support for the claim, and as a result, no support for derived diagnostic procedures or remedial programs.…

Peer reviewedSnow, Jeffrey H. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1992
Assessment of 60 children (ages 9-15) with learning disabilities resulted in a group with relatively intact visual planning and mental flexibility skills and a group clearly dysfunctional in these areas. Comparison of the two subtypes on measures of academic skills, visual memory, visual-motor integration, and motor speed indicated significant…

Peer reviewedWilson, Lonny; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1986
Demographic data, IQ, achievement, perceptual-motor, behavior ratings, and diagnostic classification (learning, mental, emotional disability or no handicap) were analyzed for all children (N=2002) referred for complete psychological evaluation during one school year in Iowa. Learning disabled children showed a distinct pattern different from…
