Two tests of perceptual motor development: a cross-cultural study
… a cross cultural investigation of two tests of perceptual motor development. The tests in question, the Bender Gestalt Test and the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration are widely used clinically in South Africa despite the limited information regarding their applicability locally. The …

Cognitive and Perceptual-Motor Indicators of Lateralized vs. Diffuse Brain Damage in Adults.
Among the goals of the neuropsychological assessment are to detect the presence of brain damage, localize which areas of the brain may be dysfunctional and describe subsequent functional impairments. The sensitivity of neuropsychological instruments in carrying out these functions is a question of …
