STRUCTURAL EXTENSION OF THE CATTELL-HORN-CARROLL CROSS-BATTERY APPROACH TO INCLUDE MEASURES OF VISUAL-MOTOR INTEGRATION by Janell Hargrove Brooks In spite of the long-standing tradition of including measures of visual-motor integration in psychological evaluations, visual-motor abilities have not been included in the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory of cognitive abilities or its complementary ...

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...

The Perceptual Organization Test (POT) has been designed for the purpose of measuring impairment in cognitive functioning as reflected in a purely perceptual task. Such a test is badly needed in view of the fact that the most widely used tests of perception are not really pure tests of perception. Bender Gestalt (Bender, 1960), for example, requires a certain measure of motor skill in copying n...

Introduction: Bender Gestalt test is one of the most famous neuropsychological tests that is simple and it can be used to examine brain injuries. The objective of this research was to investigate the validity, diagnostic strength and the replicability of the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods: 240 participants were tested in a case-control st...

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.

Heroin and nonopiate users, psychotic and nonpsychotic, were compared on the Bender-Gestalt test, a mental ability scale, and an affect adjective checklist. Analyses of variance and covariance indicated heroin effects were highly significant (p < .01) on the Bender-Gestalt test. Psychosis effects lacked significance on any test. Constricted use of space, a tendency to rotate designs, and persev...

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,...
