|June 1, 1981
Summary
This study assessed the test-retest reliability of the Developmental Tests of Visual-motor Association in 274 children aged 7-15. Results showed significant correlations, indicating reliable visual-motor association measures for this age group.
Area of Science:
- Developmental Psychology
- Educational Psychology
- Neuroscience
Background:
- Visual-motor skills are crucial for academic and daily functioning.
- Reliable assessment tools are needed to track development and identify potential issues.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the test-retest reliability of the Developmental Tests of Visual-motor Association.
- To determine if the assessment yields consistent results over time.
Main Methods:
- A cohort of 274 children (grades 2-9, ages 7-15) participated.
- Participants completed the Developmental Tests of Visual-motor Association on two separate occasions.
- Statistical analysis focused on test-retest correlations.
Main Results:
- Significant test-retest correlations were found for the overall group.
- Reliability was confirmed across different participant categories (A-D).
Conclusions:
- The Developmental Tests of Visual-motor Association demonstrate strong test-retest reliability.
- These findings support the use of the tests for assessing visual-motor association in children aged 7-15.
