Two tests of perceptual motor development: a cross-cultural study

The present study is 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 intention of the research is thus to provide information relevant to the advisability of the continued clinical usage of these tests. Using the tests, this study investigates perceptual motor development in a particular subcultural group. Account is taken of some theoretical issues regarding perceptual motor integration and methodological issues peculiar to cross cultural research.
