Developmental and Visual Perceptual Tests (M2)

Question 1

What are the developmental and visual perceptual tests used?

Answer 1

1. PASP
2. Beery VMI
3. DEM

Question 2

What is the VMI in which you draw progressively more difficult shapes?

Answer 2

Beery VMI

Question 3

How do you score the DEM?

Answer 3

1. add 2 vertical times
2. calculate horizontal adjusted time (time*(80/[80-O+A]))
3. ratio = adjusted horizontal/vertical
4. total errors = S+O+A+T

Question 4

How is the Beery VMI scored?

Answer 4

1. stop when miss 3 in a row
2. total correct figures plus 6 or number of last correct figure minus any prior misses
3. convert to standard score (book)

Question 5

How is the scoring for PASP done?

Answer 5

1. stop once child misses 2 in a row
2. score is number of the last correct answer
3. compare age norms
4. discuss phonologic awareness problems if more than 1 year below normal

Question 6

If a patient has a low Beery VMI what is the perceptual subtest? 1. Motor subtest? 2

Answer 6

1. asks child if perceives differences

2. has child draw forms in connect the dot fashion

Question 7

When interpreting DEM, what is the problem if vertical and horizontal are poor, resulting in good ratio?

Answer 7

poor automaticity of naming numbers

Question 8

At what age are children able to have stop and go drawing? 1. Rotation of shapes? 2

Answer 8

1. 5 yrs

2. 6 yrs

Question 9

What is there a correlation between visual motor integration and, making it important?

Answer 9

1. kindergarten readiness
2. reading achievement
3. age

Question 10

What is the developmental and visual perceptual test that tests eye movements (saccades during reading)? 1. What are the two components of the test? 2

Answer 10

1. Developmental Eye Movement (DEM)

2. vertical and horizontal

Question 11

When interpreting DEM, what is the problem if vertical is poor?

Answer 11

consistent with too careful

Question 12

What is the percentile that you want a child’s development to fall into?

Answer 12

15 to 85 percentile

Question 13

When is the Beery VMI pre-test administered? 1. What do you give points for? 2

Answer 13

1. younger than 5 yo

2. 1pt for imitated scribble, 1pt for spontaneous scribble, 1pt for scribble on page, 1 pt for each imitated shape

Question 14

What are the three parts of the PASP test?

Answer 14

1. Can child break up words into smallest parts?
2. Can they break down word to replace single phoneme or vowel?
3. Can they do phonologic analogies?

Question 15

What are the different types of errors when performing the DEM?

Answer 15

1. submission
2. omission
3. addition
4. transposition

Question 16

What is the developmental and visual perceptual test that tests the coordination of visual info and motor skills? 1. What are the different forms? 2

Answer 16

1. visual motor integration

2. puzzles, coloring, copying forms, writing

Question 17

When interpreting DEM, what is the problem if they have high errors but everything else is fine?

Answer 17

indicates rushing too much so interpretation is difficult

Question 18

What is the developmental and visual perceptual test that tests the ability to make sense out of reading and spelling?

Answer 18

Phonological Awareness Skills Program (PASP)

Question 19

When testing VMI, is it generally more common for horizontal or vertical lines to be able to be drawn first? 1. Right or left oblique lines? 2. Open or closed forms? 3.

Answer 19

1. vertical
2. left oblique
3. open forms

Question 20

When interpreting DEM, what is the problem if the vertical is good and the rest are poor?

Answer 20

consistent with oculomotor dysfunction
