Abstract

An experimental Visual Discrimination Test of Words was administered to two groups of 32 kindergarten children each, matched for chronological age, intelligence, and sex. One group was identified as having visual perceptual problems in spatial orientation on the Bender Visual-motor Gestalt Test; the other group displayed adequate spatial orientation on the Bender. The data indicated that the experimental task discriminated between Ss with adequate spatial orientation and Ss with poor spatial orientation on the Bender. Ss with developmental lag or deficits in spatial orientation tended to do poorly on both the word-related and non-word-related tasks.
