脳性マヒ児の回転的図形構成に関する研究

The purpose of this study was to examine cerebral palsied children's characteristics in rotating figure reconstruction. Shochi's Block Design Test (1971) was used as the method for 30 cerebral palsied children (age 5-13) and 30 normal children (age 5-10). The cerebral palsied children had some difficulties in rotating figure reconstruction in comparison with that of normal children. But there was no difference in the directions of rotation between the two groups of children. It was found that the developmental trends of the performance of both groups were evident by increasing ages, but the trends of the cerebral palsied children were more delayed than the normal children. This was because the cerebral palsied children were staying at the motor level by their restricted experience and their delayed maturation. And it was also due to their difficulties in reconstruct the figures in relation to image, to reflective scheme and to their own motor scheme under the rotating condition.
