Peer reviewedFakouri, M. E. – Psychology in the Schools, 1991
Superimposes findings of research in learning disabilities on Piagetian stages of cognitive development. Results suggest that during sensorimotor stage, diagnosis of learning disabilities is difficult. Findings suggest delay exists in cognitive development of learning-disabled children during elementary school years, which corresponds to…

Peer reviewedKnoff, Howard M.; Sperling, Barbara L. – Psychology in the Schools, 1986
A sample of 63 gifted elementary-school students was administered the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test and the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration. Group results revealed no significant differences between the two tests, that they did correlate significantly, and that younger students had advanced visual-motor development when tested…

Peer reviewedBrannigan, Gary G.; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1995
Compares the Qualitative Scoring System and the Developmental Scoring Systems, both Bender-Gestalt tests, in predicting achievement on the Metropolitan Achievement Test (MAT). In this study, first through fourth graders (n=409) from regular elementary schools were subjected to both tests; both systems correlated significantly with school…

Peer reviewedBlixt, Sonja; Kitson, Donald L. – Psychology in the Schools, 1982
Investigated the factor structure of the McCarthy Screening Test with a sample of 555 children. Data were analyzed by a principal components analysis followed by a varimax rotation. Results indicated that the subtests all measure parts of the same attribute (cognitive and sensorimotor functions) in varying degrees. (Author/RC)

Peer reviewedFuller, Gerald B.; Vance, H. Booney – Psychology in the Schools, 1995
The Minnesota Percepto-Diagnostic Test-Revised (MPDT-R) and the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills were administered to 40 Navajo, 40 Papago, 40 Hopi, and 40 Caucasian children. All of the children were in regular classrooms, but the results of a one-way analysis of variance indicated significant differences among the four groups on the MPDT-R…

Peer reviewedPolubinski, Joseph; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1986
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.

Peer reviewedSabatino, David A.; Abbott, John C. – Psychology in the Schools, 1974
This study measures the effectiveness of mothers functioning as teachers with their own pre-school academically high-risk children. Results indicate that mothers can use structured visual perceptual training to increase the perceptual development of their children. The parents reported favorable attitudes concerning their new roles. (Author/PC)
