Beery's Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration was individually administered to 193 school-age children. Four factors were obtained, indicating that the test does not measure a unitary dimension of perceptual-motor development, but rather four distinct levels or stages for the age range of children investigated.

Chase, William Neil, Jr. – 1973
This study sought to determine if a perceptual development program would contribute more to improvement in reading than a supplementary reading program and if such a program was more beneficial for below grade level readers than for above grade level readers--defined as those students who scored one or more months below or above grade level on the…

Peer reviewedHetrick, R. Dennis; Sommers, Ronald K. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1988
Ten normally speaking children, 10 having mild misarticulations, and 10 having severe misarticulations, aged seven-eight, were administered unisensory and bisensory processing tasks. Results showed that misarticulating children obtained lower scores than normal children on all bisensory tasks and had larger decrements from unisensory to bisensory…

A study was made of the research on perceptual-motor development programs and their effect on reading readiness or reading achievement. The selection of 11 studies was based on specific criteria such as a minimal sample size of 40 subjects, an experimental period of at least 18 weeks, and a pretest post-test research design with experimental and…

D'Annunzio, Anthony – 1975
The purpose of this research study was to compare two kinds of perceptual training for kindergarteners. A control group was grouped for instruction in visual or auditory perception. The children whose weaker modality was auditory received an "Open Court" program which stressed the acquisition of phonetic skills. The Frostig-Horne program was given…

Handbook of Pupil Experiences for "High Challenge" Children - Those Children with Learning Problems.
Jones, Juanita; And Others – 1971
The guide is intended to familiarize primary grade teachers with the special learning characteristics of students with a high risk for a learning disability (those who are beginning to show an inability to work with symbols or to think abstractly) and to assist the teachers in the diagnosis of the specific nature of their learning problems.…

Crawford, Connie M. – 1995
In 1988, 59 Kindergarten students were studied to determine the effect of "shadowing" on perceptual-motor learning. Shadowing is a method whereby the use of one's shadow provides visual feedback. The method developed from observing children's natural curiosity in creating shadows. Illuminated by sunlight outdoors or overhead projectors…

Weber, Kathleen M. – 1991
A program was developed for six kindergarten students identified as at risk because of developmental delays. The program involved an hour of instruction after the regular school day, 2 days a weeks for a 10-week period, with a curriculum focusing on visual, auditory, and motor development. Specific skill areas included visual motor coordination,…
