The purpose of this study was to examine environmental influences on perceptual and motor skills of children from immigrant Ethiopian families in Israel in comparison with those of Israeli-born children. The subjects were divided into groups based on age (6- to 8-yr.-olds and 10- to 12-yr.-olds) and length of time in Israel. The results of this study show that the perceptual and motor performance of 6- to 8-yr.-old, less recent Ethiopian immigrants is similar to that of the recent Ethiopian immigrants of the same age. A difference exists between those two groups and the Israeli-born children of the same age. In the 10- to 12-yr.-old age group, there is a marked difference between the performance of the two groups of Ethiopian immigrants. The difference between the less recent immigrants and the Israeli-born children is smaller for most tasks; however, the less recent immigrants' performance is still poorer than that of the Israeli children. These results are compatible with those of other studies describing the difficulties encountered by children who had not studied in formal educational settings and those who have had that experience.
本研究的目的是考察环境对以色列移民埃塞俄比亚家庭儿童的感知和运动技能的影响，并与以色列本土儿童进行比较。根据年龄（6至8岁和10至12岁）以及在以色列的时间长短将研究对象分组。本研究结果表明，6至8岁、近期移民时间较短的埃塞俄比亚移民的感知和运动表现与同龄的近期埃塞俄比亚移民相似。这两组人与同龄的以色列本土儿童之间存在差异。在10至12岁年龄组中，两组埃塞俄比亚移民的表现存在显著差异。对于大多数任务而言，近期移民时间较短的移民与以色列本土儿童之间的差异较小；然而，近期移民时间较短的移民的表现仍比以色列儿童差。这些结果与其他研究的结果一致，这些研究描述了未接受过正规教育的儿童以及有过这种经历的儿童所遇到的困难。
