93 students 6 to 11 yr. old and referred for evaluation because of learning or adjustment difficulties by their classroom teachers were administered Beery's Developmental Test of Visual-motor Integration and Kopitz's version of the Bender-Gestalt test. Previous research with retarded samples indicated the two tests were highly correlated while one study using normal subjects yielded significant differences between the tests. The present study indicated significant mean differences between the tests and significant but moderate correlations between the measures for each of three age ranges between 6 and 11 yr. In general, Beery's test gave higher standard scores for this sample of referred students; examiners are cautioned not to use the tests interchangeably with similar populations.
93名6至11岁因学习或适应困难被任课教师转介来接受评估的学生，接受了贝里视觉-运动整合发育测试和科皮茨版本德尔-格式塔测试。之前对智力迟钝样本的研究表明这两项测试高度相关，而一项使用正常受试者的研究则显示这两项测试之间存在显著差异。本研究表明，在6至11岁的三个年龄范围内，这两项测试之间存在显著的平均差异，且各项测量之间存在显著但中等程度的相关性。总体而言，贝里测试为本研究中转介学生样本给出了更高的标准分数；提醒考官不要在类似人群中互换使用这两项测试。
