Orthogonal Varimax Rotation

The scores on 22 items of the Purdue Perceptual-motor Survey, administered to 567 normal school children of mean IQ 103 and mean age of 116 mo., were subjected to R-factor analysis by the method of principal factoring with orthogonal varimax rotation. The analysis led to the definition of 10 factors: J, ocular control; K, dynamic balance; L, visual-motor fluency; M, chalkboard; N, unilateral-bilateral coordination; O, upper-lower body differentiation; P, form perception; Q, developmental maturation; R, sex; and S, spatial body perception. The results provide cross-validation for previous studies on the perceptual-motor attributes of normal school children.

The Inside-of-the-Body test was administered to an unselected group of 150 elementary school children in Grades 1 to 6. The most frequently identified body part was the heart. Musculoskeletal and visible body parts were identified by younger children. Children in the higher grade levels drew more cavity organs and their drawings more frequently showed the organs in the correct anatomic arrangement. The Inside-of-the-Body test may be a useful adjunctive tool in the psychological assessment of children by identifying the development of internal body perception in normal children as well as those with physical and psychological disorders.

Insight Into

The findings of a neuro-otological evaluation of 100 normal school children and 21 adults are presented. The results show changes in the vestibulo-ocular reflex with age which are of importance in the interpretation of future tests. They also give a fascinating insight into the maturation processes taking place in the growing child.

20 learning disabled and 20 normal elementary school children took the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test twice, once under standard conditions and again using Background Interference Procedure paper. Based on Koppitz's scoring system, the disabled pupils did equally poorly on both modes but performed significantly worse than the normal children when given the standard Bender first. No other differences were found. Other scoring methods are suggested for investigation.

Definition Of

The intercorrelations among items of the Purdue Perceptual-motor Survey, previously established by Roach and Kephart using a sample of 200 school children of average intelligence, were subjected to factorial analysis, which led to definition of 9 factors, of which 7 were defined by high loadings of a single subtest: I, Walking board; II, Chalkboard; III, Ocular pursuits; V, Rhythmic writing; VI, Form perception; VII, Obstacle course; VIII, Kraus-Weber. The quasi-singlet character of these factors in relation to subtests in the present study was contrasted with the pronounced associations between subtests in an earlier factor analytic study of the Purdue Perceptual-motor Survey scores of mentally retarded persons. Four neurological dysfunction patterns of the mentally retarded were hypothesized: dysfunctions of A, postural dimensionality; B, shoulder-arm movement; C, laterality; and D, ocular control.

AbstractKoriat & Goldsmith restrict their definition of memory to “being about some past event,” which causes them to ignore the most common use of memory: everyday visual-motor tasks. New techniques make it possible to study memory in the context of these natural tasks with which memory is so tightly coupled. Memory can be more fully understood in the context of these actions.

This study examined contrasting patterns of psycholinguistic functioning among normal children and children with reading disabilities. In general, results suggested that children with reading disabilities had significantly different patterns of psycholinguistic functioning in auditory vocal, visual motor, vocal encoding, and motor encoding activities.

This study factor analyzed the scores of 80 first and second grade level public school children on the 28 test items of the Perceptual-motor Attributes of Mentally Retarded Children and Youth battery and the Purdue Perceptual-motor Survey. 10 factors were extracted and 9 were named: Visual Tracking, Visual Discrimination and Copying of Forms, Visual Discrimination and Copying of Rhythmic Patterns, Verbal Body Image, Dynamic Balance, Spatial Body Perception, Postural Maintenance, Visual Discrimination and Copying of Motor Patterns, and Gross Agility. The study indicated that the individual test items are very specific in nature, i.e., they measure very specific perceptual-motor acts.
