the bender-gestalt test was given to thirty mentally-retarded psychiatric patients. the mean, standard deviation, and standard error were 56.73, 26.25, and 4.80 respectively. rotation was the most frequent major deviation which occurred in all the designs. design # 7 was the most difficult one to be reproduced in the sample. this design by itself, was subject to 47% of distortion, 79% of omissi...

the current study was performed with the aim of investigating the diagnostic utility of bender-gestalt test-ii (bdt-ii) in two groups of patients with major depression and brain-damage, and to compare them with normal individuals. this was a causal-comparative study. major depressive patients (n=30), brain-damaged patients (n=30) and normal subjects (n=30) were compared using bdt-ii in copying,...

A crystal bender for sagittal focusing has been designed for standard monochromators at SPring-8. The bender does not move the position of the crystal center when the bending radius is changed. Sagittal focusing from 40 keV to 60 keV was achieved by using Si(311) double crystals. The flux density of the focused beam measured at 40 keV was 15 times higher than that of the unfocused beam. The hei...

Background: Bender Gestalt Test is one of the most famous neuropsychological tests, simple and easy to perform, and is used to evaluate brain injuries. This study aimed at determining the rate of sensitivity, characteristic and cut-off point of this test in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods and Materials: Overall, 120 TBI patients with mean age of 31.25± 13.60 years old in...

Bender Gestalt 2 This study investigated the use of the Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test (BVMGT) as a measure of social maturity. A group BVMGT was administered to 80 second grade children and scored using the Koppitz Developmental Scoring System. The Social Domain of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS) served as the measure of social maturity. It was hypothesized that there is a signif...
