The Interrelationship of Perceptual - Motor Achievement, Academic Achievement & Intelligence of Fourth Grade Children

Santa Barbara, California

Marian Anderson, M.A.

Santa Barbara, California

The relationship of perceptual-motor achievement, academic achievement, and intclligence was investigated. Eighty-six fourth grade boys and girls of normal intelligence were studied. On the basis of performance on the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT), 41 pupils were designated as low achievers and 45 were designated as high achievers. The California Test of Mental Maturity (CTMM) and a perceptualmotor battery consisting of 11 tests were also administered to the children.

Scores on the perceptual-motor battery for all children correlated significantly with their CTMM and SAT scores. The combined group of male and female high achievers performed significantly better than the low achiever group on all subtests of the CTMM including IQ. They also scored significantly better on six of the 11 perceptual-motor tests. On the remaining five tests, no differences were noted.
