Case's developmental model and children's drawings.
109 children in four age groups were administered two memory measures designed by Case in 1985, the Beery Visual Motor Integration Test and five drawing tasks from Dennis. Scores on working memory were correlated positively with age; children's drawings corresponded to Case's four developmental substages; and a direct relationship was found between the children's drawings and their performance on the psychometric measure of visuomotor integration. These findings are interpreted as evidence that important developmental changes in children's drawing can reliably illuminate changes in intellectual development.
