“…Alguns estudos internacionais foram efetivados com a intenção de verificar a sensibilidade do instrumento em captar essa maturação nos diversos sistemas de correção existentes, encontrando diferenças significativas (Koppitz, Mardis, & Stephens, 1961;Garvey & Popplestone, 1960;Smith & Keogh, 1963;Dierks & Cushna, 1969;Taylor & Partenio, 1984;Bolen, 2003;Rajabi, 2009).…”

RESUMOEste estudo objetivou investigar o aspecto maturacional da habilidade percepto-motora, avaliada pelo Bender -Sistema de Pontuação Gradual (B-SPG), na relação com idade e escolaridade. Foram feitas análises de variância entre o escore total e a pontuação recebida em cada reprodução das figuras, sendo comparadas de acordo com a idade e o ano escolar. Os participantes foram 361 alunos, de ambos os sexos, entre 6 e 10 anos, a partir de primeiro ao quinto ano do ensino fundamental de escolas públicas e privadas. As pontuações totais obtidas no teste foram diferenciadas significativamente em relação à idade e à escolaridade. Confirmando a proposta do instrumento, foi possível evidenciar que o B-SPG mostrou-se sensível em captar o aspecto maturacional da habilidade percepto-motora. Palavras-chave: teste de bender; maturidade percepto-motora; avaliação psicológica. ABSTRACT Bender-Gradual Scoring System (B-SPG): Analysis of the maturation of visual-motor perception of childrenThis study aimed to investigate the maturational aspect of visual motor perception ability, assessed by Bender -Gradual Scoring System (B-SPG) in relation to age and educational level. Analyses of variance were made between the total score and the punctuation received on each reproduction of the figures, being compared according to age and educational level. Participants were 361 students, of both genders, between 6 and 10 years, from 1st to 5th years of primary education from public and private schools. The total scores obtained in the test differed significantly in relation to age and educational level. Confirming the proposal of instrument, it became clear that the B-GSP proved to be sensitive to capture the maturational aspect of visual motor perception ability.

The present study assessed the extent to which kindergarten children's performance on the Uender-Crednlt Test is related to sex arid sociociilt.ura1 variables on the one hand, and to children's social behavior on the other hand. Two distinctly different. Israeli popillations were included: (a) The Druzerepresenting the tr:itlitional-authorit~~tivr cti!ttire, and (b) The Jews-representing the \Vesternised democrcttic society. Generally, the Jewish children were more socially active, and could ditrerentirtte and integrate the neiitral elements of the Bender-Gestalt Test much morc often than did the Druae children. Significant correlations bet ween percepkial indicators and social behaviors were found and suggest that the Uender-Gestalt Test can be used for assessing and understanding the nature of the child's social interactions and struggle for R position within the constl:tinls of his/her culture.Special place is given during thc kindergarten agc to the cognitive process of differentiation (Flavcll, 19G3), i.e., the ability to pcrceivc objccts as having unique qualitics distinct from other object,s. The progrcssivc perccptual differentiation is counteracted by the process of integration (Pepper, 19GG), in order to forestall feelings of confusion and insecurity. Cognitive processes can bc inferrcd only from cvidcnce relating to cognitivc products. At prcschool lcvcls these products are mainly scnsorimotor (Brainerd, 1973; Nclson, 1973; l'iagct, 1973).The cognitive processes also can be assesscd by copying thc Bender-Gcstalt Tcst, as reflccting tho rcsponsc of the I\-holc organism to thc total situation, which involves not only pcrccption but will and action (Bcnder, 1938). Taking this dynamic point of vicn-, assumptions can bc madc that: (a) A situation which generates varicd differentiatcd stimuli would call for morc differentiated and varicd responses, and (b) Thc morc divcrsificd and yet organizcd the pcrson's perception is, thc morc flexible and appropriately differentiated arc his interactions with his world (Bannistcr & RIair, 1968; Livcsley & Bromley, 1973) and the inorc appropriately differentiated are his responscs to ever-coming new stimuli, in contrast to the rcaction of sameness. Thus, children who can bettcr diffcrcntiatc and intcgratc their perceptual sphere, as manifestcd, for cxample, in thcir rcaction to a neutral stimulus like the Bender-Gestalt Test, also would be expccted to show thcir diffcrcntiation and intcgrativc ability in thcir rcaction t o a total social situation: to be rcccpt.ivc to others' ideas, and to initiate and organize divcrsc activitics toward a dcsircd goal within the allocated physical and human spacc. Porterfield (1969), Iioppitz (1973), and RIcCarthy (1975) found thc Bcnder results a t thc kindergarten lcvcl and a t tho end of thc first grade to be of some utility in predicting those children liable to bc easily frustrated in higher grades in school.---'The study was supported by a grant from the Faculty of Socid Sciences and Mathematics at the University of Haifa.

The past 11 years of published research investigating the use of the Bender Gestalt Test with school‐age children are reviewed. Seen as a psychometric instrument, scored according to standardized procedures, this recent work does not conclusively support the use of the test for prediction of school achievement. Nor does it offer any substantial support for individual diagnosis of neurological impairment or emotional disturbance. Test scores from group and individual administration appear equivalent. Deprived and minority group performance has differed significantly from the Koppitz norms in a number of studies and bears further investigation.
