The study investigated the relative efficiency of the Bender and MPD as assessors of achievement-related errors in visual-motor perception. Clinical experience with these two tests suggests that beyond first grade the MPD is more sensitive than the Bender for purposes of measuring deficits in visual-motor perception that interfere with effective classroom learning. The sample was composed of 153 third-grade children from two upper-middle-class elementary schools in a surburban school system in central Ohio. For three of the four achievement criteria, the results were clearly congruent with the hypothesis stated above. That is, SpCD errors from the MPD not only showed significantly higher negative rs with the criteria (reading vocabulary, reading comprehension, and mathematics computation) than Koppitz errors from the Bender, but also accounted for a much higher proportion of the variance in these criteria. Thus, the findings suggest that psychologists engaged in the assessment of older children seriously should consider adding the MPD to their assessment battery.read more

A Comparison of The Minnesota Perceptual Diagnostic Test Revised And The Bender Gestalt
TL;DR: Factor analysis suggested that the MPDT-R provides unique information concerning a child's perceptual-cognitive development which may be useful in differential assessment of learning disabilities.

Comparison of the Minnesota Percepto-Diagnostic Test and Bender-Gestalt: relationship with achievement criteria.
TL;DR: It is suggested that DD and SpCD scores from the MPD provide a more sensitive measure of deficits in visual-motor perception than the Koppitz score from the BG.

Comparison of the Efficacy of the Minnesota Percepto-Diagnostic and Bender-Gestalt in Assessing Brain Damage in Adolescents
TL;DR: It appears from this study that the MPD-R is a better test than the Bender-Gestalt for visual-motor perception and provides a more sensitive and accurate measure for identifying BD and NBD than does the Hutt-scored BG.
