The correlation between a qualitative curriculum-referenced and a norm-referenced quantitative measure of motor development was assessed for 142 girls and 139 boys who ranged in age between 3 and 16 yr. Correlations between the two measures were relatively high, mostly in the .70 to .83 range. These results suggest consistent relationships between qualitative and quantitative measures of motor development in young children and the feasibility of integrating such assessments in planning educational programs.
