Partial Cross-Validation of Low Correlation for Scores on the Test of Visual-Motor Integration and the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration
The aim of this study was to further investigate the correlation between a well established test, the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration and a new copying test, the Test of Visual-Motor Integration. For scores on the tests of 71 children from a public school in Italy, the correlation is .34, which is consistent with earlier evidence and indicates that the Test of Visual-Motor Integration is not a substitute for the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration.
