Scores on the Kuhlmann-Anderson, Herndon's adaptation of the Figure Reproduction Test, and the Pearman revision of the Lincoln-Oseretsky test for 24 boys and 22 girls of kindergarten age suggested intelligence is not strongly related to perceptual-motor skill and low Herndon performance is associated with poor cognitive functioning. As no norms are yet available clinical assessment is required to evaluate whether a deficit is perceptual, motoric, or integrative.
