The purpose of this study is to find out the response characteristics of visual perception(GVP: General Visual Perception and MRP: Motor-Reduced Visual Perception) and VMI(Visual-Motor Integration) according to impulsivity cognitive style of children with developmental disabilities. And the study will offer basic data for making a contribution to the minimum and maximum of individual difference of children with developmental disabilities. The subject of this study was selected 100 elementary and middle students with developmental disabilities who attend special school for the mentally retarded, in Gyeonggi, Daegu, who are received K-DTVP-2 test. The instrument of this study was employed to K-DTVP-2 which be Korea standardization the DTVP-2 which be revised version by Donald D. Hammill, Nils A. Pearson, and Judith K. Voress. Other instrument of this study was employed to the F-type be Korea standardization among MFFT test developed by Kagna, in order to test impulsivity cognitive style.
The conclusion drawn from results of this study are as follows;
First, there were statistical significant differences in GVP and Eye-Hand Coordination, Position in Space, Figure-Ground among 8 sub-test. Children with developmental disabilities that showed low impulsivity cognitive style received high mark in GVP and Eye-Hand Coordination, Position in Space, Figure-Ground. Therefore, the results of this study showed that GVP and Eye-Hand Coordination, Position in Space, Figure-Ground were influenced according to either impulsivity cognitive style low or high.
Second, there were statistical significant differences in MRP and Position in Space, Figure-Ground among sub-test. That is, children with developmental disabilities that showed low impulsivity cognitive style received high mark in MRP and Position in Space, and Figure-Ground. Therefore, the results of this study showed that MRP and Position in Space and Figure-Ground were influenced according to either impulsivity cognitive style low or high.
Third, there were statistical significant differences in only Eye-Hand Coordination in responsive characteristic of VMI and 4 sub-test according to either impulsivity cognitive style low or high. there were no significant differences in Spatial Relations like Eye-Hand Coordination according to either impulsivity cognitive style low or high. The reasons is that children with developmental disabilities have an many difficulty in Spatial Relations regardless of either impulsivity cognitive style low or high because Spatial Relations test required ability to perception of each position of both or above and mutual position, and ability to perception of position of self and objects, while there were significant differences in Eye-Hand Coordination according to either impulsivity cognitive style low or high,
The reasons that there were no significant differences in VMI, Copying, and Visual-Motor Speed is that children with developmental disabilities who showed impulsivity cognitive style are willing to escape rapidly from the situation due to short of assertion to solve problems and have a difficulty in unfamiliar problems, therefore there were no significant differences.
