The incidence of behavior disturbance among school-aged pupils was surveyed to explore the relationship of motor impairment to the core syndromes of disturbed behavior as identified by the Bristol Social Adjustment Guides. No excess of motor impairment was observed with the underreactive types of maladjustment. Among the overreactive types, Inconsequence, the failure to monitor the consequences of actions, showed a strong concordance with motor impairment. The relation of this finding to the Strauss syndrome and its implications for assessment of learning disabled and behavior disturbed children are discussed.
