The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to investigate performance of developmentally delayed preschoolers on intramodal and intermodal matching tasks in the visual and haptic modalities. The performance of these preschoolers was compared with the learning profile of handicapped children. Further analysis determined the relationship between performance on intra- and intermodal matching tasks and scores on visual motor integration and cognitive matching. Eighteen developmentally delayed preschoolers from ages 3.4 years to 5.11 were involved in four matching conditions: visual-visual, haptic-haptic (intramodal), visual-haptic, and haptic-visual (intermodal). Results of this study indicated that accuracy in all modalities increased as chronological age increased. The learning profile of developmentally delayed preschoolers differed from that of nonhandicapped children: the delayed children scored highest on the haptic-visual task, with the visual-haptic and visual-visual scores only slightly lower, but the haptic-haptic scores markedly lower. No meaningful relationship was apparent between performance in the four modalities and cognitive matching and visual motor integration.

The Relationship

This longitudinal investigation evaluated the relationship of sensory integrative development to achievement. It was hypothesized that perceptual abilities would be strongly related to achievement when participants were 6 to 8 years of age, but not 4 years later. Participants (32 school-identified learning handicapped children and 35 non-learning handicapped children) were administered the Sensory Integration and Praxis tests and the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children. As predicted, sensory integrative factors were strongly related to arithmetic achievement at younger ages, and the strength of the association declined with age. The reverse pattern was found for reading: sensory integration was not significantly related to concurrent reading achievement at younger ages, but was related to later reading. An unexpected finding was the strength of the relationship of the sensory integrative factors, particularly Praxis, to arithmetic achievement.

The 1996 Test of Visual-Motor Integration manual states that an adjusted correlation of .95 was obtained between this test and the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration for 49 children with an average age of 9 years and that the adjusted .95 suggests equivalency of the tests. In the present study, for 103 children whose average age was 9 years, there was a correlation of .33 between the tests. Scores on the Beery-Buktenica test correlated more strongly than the Test of Visual-Motor Integration with both chronological age and academic achievement. Standard scores for the latter test were high compared to those of the Beery-Buktenica test and the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills. Interscorer agreement was significantly lower, and more time was required to score the protocols. This study indicates that the 1996 version is not a substitute for the Beery-Buktenica test.

Pearson Correlations

Previous studies have indicated that scores on the Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration correlate higher with Performance than Verbal and Full Scale IQs of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. WISC–III and Visual Motor Integration—3R scores from 99 boys and 46 girls ranging in age from 6 to 16 years were obtained by certified school psychologists to study the relationship between the two measures. Participants were drawn from six suburban Chicago school districts, two being very affluent. These Pearson correlations for standard scores ranging from .34 to .57 and following previous research, were ranked from highest to lowest and then transformed into an approximately normal Z statistic using Fisher Z. The highest correlation was compared to the next highest and so on, which yielded significant differences. Only four comparisons had to be made.

African Sample

A statistically significant correlation of 0.618 was obtained between scores from 62 preschool children on the Revised Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration and the Copying Test. Merely 38% of Copying Test variance was associated with changes in Test of Visual-Motor Integration variance, so in practice these tests should not be substituted for one another.
