Abstract

The Torrance Test of Thinking Creatively in Action and Movement, developed to measure the motor creativity of children ages 3 to 8 yr., has been subjected to little psychometric study. The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of using this instrument with young learning disabled boys and to determine whether differences between learning disabled boys and the test manual's nondisabled normative sample (n = 193) were significant. Subjects were 30 learning disabled boys (M = 8.11 yr.), representing seven different school systems. Significant differences were noted between two groups on fluency, imagination, and total motor creativity but not on originality. Test-retesting over 1 to 14 days gave coefficients of .71 to .89. The alpha coefficient for total test internal consistency was .79.
