Preschool teachers from four different day care centers assessed four-and five-year-old children for deficits in gross-motor skill and self-concept. Forty subjects were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in a 30 minute per day, 5 day per week perceptual-motor training program for 10 weeks, while the control group received no specialized intervention other than their regular classroom activities. Two posttests were administered: Cratty's Six-Category Gross-Motor Test and Goodenough's House, Tree, Person Projective Test. The experimental group performed better on the gross-motor test, but the results were not statistically significant. Analysis of the projective test supported the hypothesis that a perceptual-motor program may improve the self-concept of young children. Specialized intervention with perceptual-motor activities improved self-concept and these results were discussed in relation to recognizing the need for early screening and remediation of perceptual-motor dificits exhibited by preschool children.
来自四个不同日托中心的学前教师对4岁和5岁儿童的大肌肉运动技能和自我概念缺陷进行了评估。40名受试者被随机分配到实验组和对照组。实验组每天参加30分钟、每周5天的感知运动训练计划，为期10周，而对照组除了常规课堂活动外没有接受任何专门干预。进行了两次后测：克拉蒂六类大肌肉运动测试和古德伊纳夫房屋-树木-人物投射测试。实验组在大肌肉运动测试中表现更好，但结果没有统计学意义。对投射测试的分析支持了这样的假设，即感知运动计划可能会改善幼儿的自我概念。感知运动活动的专门干预改善了自我概念，并结合认识到对学前儿童表现出的感知运动缺陷进行早期筛查和补救的必要性讨论了这些结果。
