The Southern California Sensory Integration Tests (SCSIT) and the Bender Gestalt are two measures used to evaluate children with suspected perceptual-motor deficits. Since these tests are used primarily by two groups of professionals, occupational therapists and psychologists, it was thought that studying the correlations between these two tests might help psychologists to know which children needed to be referred to an occupational therapist for sensory integrative evaluation, and might help the occupational therapist to understand the psychologist's use of the Bender Gestalt. The use of the Bender by the occupational therapist as a screening device for sensory integrative dysfunction was also investigated. The SCSIT and Bender were given to 26 children with suspected sensory integrative dysfunction. Scores on the Bender were found to be predictive of grouped scores on the Form and Space Perception and Praxis-Tactile sections of the SCSIT, but not of the Postural and Bilateral Integration section. It was concluded that when the Bender is used as a screening device for sensory integrative dysfunction, some measure of postural mechanisms must be included. Correlations between the Bender and individual tests of the SCSIT were also studied.
南加州感觉统合测试（SCSIT）和本德格式塔测试是用于评估疑似存在感知运动缺陷儿童的两项测评工具。由于这两项测试主要由职业治疗师和心理学家这两组专业人员使用，因此有人认为，研究这两项测试之间的相关性可能有助于心理学家了解哪些儿童需要转介给职业治疗师进行感觉统合评估，也可能有助于职业治疗师理解心理学家对本德格式塔测试的使用情况。同时还对职业治疗师将本德测试用作感觉统合功能障碍筛查工具的情况进行了调查。对26名疑似感觉统合功能障碍的儿童进行了SCSIT和本德测试。结果发现，本德测试的得分能够预测SCSIT中图形与空间感知以及实践-触觉部分的分组得分，但无法预测姿势与双侧整合部分的得分。研究得出结论，当将本德测试用作感觉统合功能障碍的筛查工具时，必须纳入某种姿势机制的测评。还研究了本德测试与SCSIT各项单独测试之间的相关性。
