Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the maturational aspect of visual motor perception ability, assessed by Bender - Gradual Scoring System (B-SPG) in relation to age and educational level. Analyses of variance were made between the total score and the punctuation received on each reproduction of the figures, being compared according to age and educational level. Participants were 361 students, of both genders, between 6 and 10 years, from 1st to 5th years of primary education from public and private schools. The total scores obtained in the test differed significantly in relation to age and educational level. Confirming the proposal of instrument, it became clear that the B-GSP proved to be sensitive to capture the maturational aspect of visual motor perception ability.
