“…Correlations between the VMI and Bender age-equivalent scores revealed nonsignificant (p>.OO3) correlations for the 6-0-to 7-ll-year-old group ( r = -0.49) and the 8-0-to 9-1 l-year-old group (r= 0.1 l), and a significant correlation for the 10-0-to 10-1 l-year-old group (r = 0.52). The correlation for the total sample (r = 0.38) was significant and consistent with other studies assessing other populations (Breen, 1982;Brown, 1977;Feinberg, Sowards, & Cochran, 1979;Krauft & Krauft, 1972;Lehman & Breen, 1982;Spirito, 1970). However, it may be that the VMI and Bender are assess-ing different aspects of visual-motor development and behavior for younger gifted samples.…”

A sample of 63 gifted elementary‐school students was administered the Bender Visual‐Motor Gestalt Test and the Developmental Test of Visual‐Motor Integration for comparative purposes and to test Koppitz hypothesis that gifted students have advanced visual‐motor development. Group results revealed no significant differences between the two tests, that they did correlate significantly, and that younger students in particular had advanced visual‐motor development when tested using these two tools.

“…Inconsistencies in correlations have led to questions about possible systematic differences between the two measures that may result in substantive score differences. For example, a number of studies across typical and special needs samples found the earlier Bender Gestalt produced significantly higher age-equivalent scores than the VMI, as well as significantly higher age-equivalent scores when compared with the actual chronological ages of subjects (e.g., Armstrong & Knopf, 1982;Breen et al, 1985;Fineberg, Sowards, & Cochran, 1979;Lehman & Breen, 1982;Siewert & Breen, 1983). Although these studies suggested the Bender Gestalt produced significantly higher scores than the VMI, the findings were not universal.…”

The visual-motor skills of 60 children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASDs) and 46 typically developing children were assessed using the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt TestSecond Edition (BG-II) and Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration, Fifth Edition (VMI-V). Within-group comparisons yielded substantive mean differences between the BG-II Copy score and VMI-V composite, Visual Perception and Motor Coordination sections of the VMI-V, and Copy and Recall sections of the BG-II, in both samples. Between-groups differences were assessed in a subsample of 27 participants from each group matched on age, gender, ethnicity, and parent education. After statistically controlling for IQ, the HFASD group scored significantly lower than the typically developing group on the two scores from each test with greater motor involvement. Intratest and intertest correlations were similar across the two samples. Correlations between the BG-II Copy score and VMI-V composite were .55 for the HFASD and .48 for the typically developing sample.
