A motion picture test of perceptual abilities has been developed for use with elementary school children. The test has two parts. In Part 1 the child must identify a hidden stimulus figure within one of four designs. In Part 2 the child must identify from four alternatives a figure formed by separate lines which have been presented successively. The test is a self-administering 16-mm sound film and requires about 30 min. of total testing time.
