Date of correction: July 16, 2010 Reason for correction: - Correction: ABSTRACT Details: Wrong : The purpose of this study was to examine whether the disorder in the visual motor function of cerebral palsied children was effected by specific defects or by the distortion in perceptual motor system or by mere developmental lag in the function of recognition and reconstruction.
Subjects were 66 cerebral palsied children and 60 normal children, age 7 to 12. The multiple choice and Shochi's Block Design Test (1971) were used.
Results were as follows:
(1) Cerebral palsied children were not inferior to normal children in the function of recognition but were prominently inferior to them in the function of reconstruction. Cerebral palsied children had no age trend in the function of recognition but had it in the function of reconstruction.
(2) In the function of reconstruction the clear clitical period of development was recognized in normal children, age 7 and 8, and cerebral palsied children, age 9 and 10.
(3) In cerebral palsied children's design reconstruction there was no difficulty in reconstructing designs from stimulus cards at age 7 and 8, but it was generally inferior to normal children and there was an undifferentiative aspect in it. But after age 9, a difficulty of reconstruction by stimulus cards became clear and a design pattern could be seen in normal children at age 7.
(4) Compared to normal children, cerebral palsied children needed about 9 times the time to reconstruct the designs.
(5) A difference was seen in reconstruction ability of children with the types of cerebral palsy. The athetotic children were superior to the spastic and ataxic children in reconstruction.
(6) In spastic children there was no intercorrelation between reconstruction ability and intellectual developmental levels, but in athetotic children there was the intercorrelation, and the children who were good in intellectual development were superior in reconstruction ability.
(7) In cerebral palsied children's design reconstructioe pattern a “global pattern” and a “translative pattern” from “global pattern” to “constructive pattern” were often seen. Even when errors in reconstruction could be recognized by cerebral palsied children it was difficult for them to correct them.
According to the results mentioned above and considering cerebral palsied children's visual motor function in the function of recognition and the function of reconstruction analytically and developmentally, cerebral palsied children's developmental lag in the function of recognition is not so prominent as that of normal children, but their function of reconstruction is prominently inferior to that of normal children. It is not only developmental lag. That is, there are the characteristics seen in the difference of reconstruction ability by children with the types of cerebral palsy and intellectual levels and design constructive patterns. There are the difficulties of operation to construct and express in kinesthesis what cerebral palsied children recognize visually and of feed-back operation, the difficulty of dissociation of part and whole, and defects of perceptual motor function. It is concluded that those factors and the developmental lag cause visual-motor disorders.
Right : The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the disorder in the visualmotor function of cerebral palsied children was affected by specific defects or by the distortion in perceptual motor system or by mere developmental lag in the function of recognition and reconstruction using the method of multiple choice and Shochi's Block Design Test (1971). The results were as follows: Cerebral palsied children's developmental lag in the function of recognition was not conspicuous but the development in the function of reconstruction was obviously inferior to that of normal children. There were the difference in reconstruction ability by children with the types of cerebral palsy and intellectual levels and design-constructive patterns. Those factors and the developmental lag cause visual-motor disorders.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the disorder in the visualmotor function of cerebral palsied children was affected by specific defects or by the distortion in perceptual motor system or by mere developmental lag in the function of recognition and reconstruction using the method of multiple choice and Shochi's Block Design Test (1971). The results were as follows: Cerebral palsied children's developmental lag in the function of recognition was not conspicuous but the development in the function of reconstruction was obviously inferior to that of normal children. There were the difference in reconstruction ability by children with the types of cerebral palsy and intellectual levels and design-constructive patterns. Those factors and the developmental lag cause visual-motor disorders.
