Having access to high-quality, rigorously developed, valid visual-motor integration assessment tools is the first step in the process of providing effective clinical services to children presenting with visual-motor integration problems. The aim of this study was to examine the factor structure of four visual-motor integration instruments through factor analysis.
The participants included 400 children ages 5 to 12, recruited from six schools in the Melbourne metropolitan area, Victoria, Australia. Children completed the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI), Test of Visual-Motor Integration (TVMI), Test of Visual-Motor Skills-Revised (TVMS-R), and Slosson Visual-Motor Performance Test (SVMPT). The factor analysis was completed using SPSS.
Results indicated that the VMI displayed six factors; TVMI, three factors; TVMS-R, four factors; and SVMPT, three factors.
The VMI, TVMI, TVMS-R, and SVMPT exhibited multidimensionality, and it is recommended that the instruments be revised to enhance their construct validity and unidimensionality.
获得高质量、严格开发、有效的视动整合评估工具是为有视动整合问题的儿童提供有效临床服务的第一步。本研究的目的是通过因子分析来检验四种视动整合工具的因子结构。
参与者包括来自澳大利亚维多利亚州墨尔本大都市区六所学校的 400 名 5 至 12 岁的儿童。儿童完成了发展性视觉运动整合测试(VMI)、视觉运动整合测试(TVMI)、视觉运动技能修订测试(TVMS-R)和斯洛斯视觉运动表现测试(SVMPT)。因子分析使用 SPSS 完成。
结果表明,VMI 显示了六个因素;TVMI,三个因素;TVMS-R,四个因素;SVMPT,三个因素。
VMI、TVMI、TVMS-R 和 SVMPT 表现出多维性,建议对这些工具进行修订,以提高其结构有效性和单维性。
