Sex Differences of Three-Year-Old Children as Measured by the Beery Visual-Motor Test.
Graf, Mercedes
The Berry Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration was devised as a measure of the degree to which visual perception and motor behavior are integrated in young children, measured by the copying of geometric forms. In this study, 64 three-year-old children were tested individually to investigate (1) whether there is a correlation between chronological age and geometric form reproduction for three-year-olds, and (2) whether three-year-old boys score lower than three-year-old girls. The results indicated a correlation between age and geometric form reproduction for girls, but not for boys; boys did score significantly lower than girls. While this study more than tripled the original number of three-year-old children tested, the sample is still too inadequate to determine if this test has predictive value at such an early age.
