This study examined the validity of an abbreviated form of the Frostig Test of Developmental Visual Perception. The abbreviated form manifested a high degree of statistical correspondence with the full Frostig when used with 100 child guidance clinic patients. When a practical analysis was conducted, the abbreviated form manifested certain deficiencies in predicting an individual's Total Perceptual Quotient.
