Sumario:The article evaluates the application of the Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception (DTVP)in measuring the distinct visual-motor perceptual behaviors of kindergarten age children in the U.S. The DTVP is composed of five subtests and each is measuring the distinct visual-motor perceptual ability. A correlation between the pre- and post-administration was obtained for the composite DTVP over the 10 week period with the control group. The reliabilities between the DTVP pre- and post-subtests ranged from .42 to .73. The test-retest relationship was slightly higher for the Metropolitan Readiness Test.
