Abstract
This study explores the relationships between visuo-spatial and visuo-motor memory for designs and other sensori-motor and psycholinguistic variables (ITPA). Fifty third-grade children were given a multiple choice answer (non-motor) memory for designs test, the scoring categories being correct original, mirror image, simplified design, rotated design, fragmented design, out of proportion design, complicated design and symmetrical design. These matched a similar classification of the Graham-Kendall Memory for Designs Test answers. The results tentatively indicated that the variables on the two tests could not be equated, some indicating slow visuo-spatial development while others suggested neurological dysfunction. Both these syndromes were associated with left-handedness. Rotated drawings (MFD) were associated with right-handedness, and were more frequently drawn by girls.Keywords
