dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this thesis was to construct a comprehensive battery of standardised tests that was robust in terms of its psychometric characteristics to evaluate visual-perceptual-motor (V-P-M) function in the adult who had suffered a Cerebro-Vascular- Accident (C.V.A.). This was to meet the need for the occupational therapist to target specific deficits and thereby to provide an effective treatment to patients. Work done by the candidate with patients, the literature as well as a review of existing tests demonstrated the need for such a test battery. Up to this time, tests available do not meet all the requirements for a reliable and valid assessment tool for adult V-P-M function. This demanded that the tests compiled for this thesis be based on a sound theoretical model, supplied information on age related changes in function and had undergone rigorous psychometric testing. It was also nescessary that normative data based on information collected from a random sarnote of the population for whom the test was intended and which would include a wide range of age groups, be collected. in order to fulfil these requirements the construction of this test battery followed the eleven steps necessary to produce tests ready for the final stage (step twelve) l.e. the collection of the normative data.
