Structured vs Unstructured Visual-Motor Tests for Educable Retarded Children

Abstract

To determine correlations among test scores on Berry Developmental Test of Visual-motor Integration (Berry), a structured test, and the Bender-Gestalt (Bender), an unstructured one, half of 24 children (IQs ranging from 50 to 80) were given each test first. Developmental age scores and/or equivalents were obtained. Both Koppitz and Bender methods were used to score the Bender protocols. Intercorrelations between the Bender (Koppitz and Bender scoring) and Berry were statistically significant ( p < .01). For this sample a structured booklet for visual-motor testing (Berry) measures visual-motor skills in a manner comparable to the unstructured Bender.
