  • Title: Relationship between Bender Designs and Basic Living Skills of geriatric psychiatric patients.
    Author: Wolber G, Lira FT.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1981 Feb; 52(1):16-8. PubMed ID: 7232078.
    Abstract:
    35 geriatric psychiatric patients were given the Bender-Gestalt and examined on level of Basic Living Skills Assessment. Significant inverse relationships were found between scores on the Bender-Gestalt and five of the seven Basic Living Skills Assessment scales indicating a decrease in patients' functioning with increased visual-motor impairment scores. Skills involving gross motor behaviors were moderately related to poor Bender performance (-.47). These findings suggest the utility of the Basic Living Skills Assessment in identifying the nature and extent of those living skills deficits associated with assessed visual-motor impairment.
