The Children's Apperception Test: Puzzle and Regular Form

Abstract

Summary To see whether more apperceptive responses could be elicited, the Children's Apperception Test (CAT) was used in a way which required the child to become motorically involved with the pictures. It was found that more children give significantly more apperceptive responses to a puzzle form of the CAT than to the regular form. Therefore, it was felt that the puzzle form was a more valuable instrument. It was suggested that any projective technique for very young children should be designed so that the response from the child results from his being actively involved in the situation.
