Projective Testing

The September issue was full of things of interest to me. One article, however, caused me some concern. I found it difficult reading the article on children's scribbling1 and finally got some advice from the psychologists in our department. They, too, had difficulty because it sounded as though someone was beating a drum rather than merely setting forth data. In considering this paper, one is struck by a lack of reference to certain basic material. Many years ago Loretta Bender, through her pioneering use of children's scribbling, evolved much of her well-known basic projective testing.

Partially Sighted

To investigate whether blind children have a “tactile aesthetic” qualitatively different from that of their sighted and partially sighted peers, a group of scrap wood sculptures created by blind, partially sighted, and sighted children were presented to judges who were children also blind, partially sighted, and sighted. The study suggested not a lack of aesthetic sensitivity in the blind, but rather a different aesthetic influenced as much by associative response to shape, form, structure, and stability relating to the individual's life experiences as by any “objective” standard of formal beauty. The potential usefulness of tactual stimuli for projective testing was implied, as well as a suggestion for modification in attitude and perception by sighted individuals who teach or present art to blind children.
