Analysis of the errors in the Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (RCPM) has been previously performed for children with intellectual disabilities but has not been investigated for those with cerebral palsy (CP). This study aimed to investigate whether the types and positions of errors made by individuals with CP differed from those made by typically developing (TD) controls.
Forty-five participants with CP aged 4-18 years and 30 TD children aged 3-9 years underwent RCPM testing. We first compared the RCPM performance and error characteristics between the groups and then examined the association between RCPM and the severity of CP and receptive vocabulary in the CP group.
The results showed that while mean total scores in the two groups were comparable, the types and positions of errors made by individuals with CP differed from those of TD controls. The development of non-verbal intelligence in children with CP increased with age; when controlling for age, non-verbal intelligence was significantly correlated with all three functional levels of CP severity and receptive vocabulary.
This study provides valuable insights into the problem-solving strategies employed by children with CP.
对智力障碍儿童进行的瑞文标准推理测验（Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices，RCPM）错误分析之前已经进行过，但尚未针对脑瘫（CP）儿童进行调查。本研究旨在探讨 CP 儿童与典型发育（TD）对照组在错误类型和位置上是否存在差异。
45 名 4-18 岁 CP 儿童和 30 名 3-9 岁 TD 儿童接受了 RCPM 测试。我们首先比较了两组的 RCPM 表现和错误特征，然后在 CP 组中检查了 RCPM 与 CP 严重程度和接受性词汇之间的关联。
结果表明，两组的平均总分相当，但 CP 儿童与 TD 对照组在错误类型和位置上存在差异。CP 儿童的非言语智力随年龄增长而发展；当控制年龄时，非言语智力与 CP 严重程度的三个功能水平和接受性词汇均显著相关。
本研究为 CP 儿童所采用的解决问题策略提供了有价值的见解。
