Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this pilot study was to explore cognitive performance and visual motor integration, and investigate the relationship between them in preschool children in a community. Forty-nine participants were selected by stratified random sampling from a local community school and community child development center in Thailand. The instruments used were the Miller Assessment for Preschoolers (MAP) and the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (Beery VMI). Results showed that most of the preschool children (59.18%) had cognitive performance at the average level, and the percentage of such children increased when they reached the higher education level. Most of the children (79.60%) had an average VMI score of above the average level, which also increased when they reached the higher education level. In addition, the relationship between cognitive performance and VMI indicated a statistically significant relationship between verbal cognitive performance and VMI in the group of Kindergarten 1 (KG-1) participants (r = .417, p < .05).

社区学龄前儿童认知表现与视觉运动整合关系的初步研究

摘要本研究旨在探讨某社区学龄前儿童的认知表现与视觉运动整合的关系。采用分层随机抽样的方法，从泰国当地一所社区学校和社区儿童发展中心抽取49名参与者。使用的工具是学龄前儿童米勒评估(MAP)和比尔里-布克特尼卡视觉-运动整合发展测验(比尔里- VMI)。结果表明，大部分学龄前儿童(59.18%)的认知能力处于中等水平，随着教育程度的提高，这一比例有所增加。绝大多数儿童(79.60%)的VMI平均得分在平均水平以上，且随着受教育程度的提高，VMI得分也有所上升。此外，认知表现与VMI的关系显示，幼儿园一组(KG-1)的言语认知表现与VMI的关系具有统计学意义(r = .417, p < .05)。
