A Review of the Non-Motoric Visual Gestalt Test and a Comparison with the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test

Abstract

Measures of visual perception, such as the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test (BVMGT) usually require motoric responding; i.e., drawing of figures. To what extent motoric responses affect the Bender's ability to measure visual discrimination is examined. An alternative test, the Non-Motoric Visual Gestalt Test (NVGT), is compared with the BVMGT and shown to be superior in measuring visual-perceptual abilities that can discriminate poor and average second grade readers. The NVGT is described, and a table of age equivalents (based on NVGT normative data) offered for easier scoring of individual protocols. A clinical case is described where the NVGT demonstrated value as a diagnostic instrument
