Motor-Free Visual Perception Test (MVPT-3)

The MVPT-3 is a major revision of the MVPT-R, utilizing both the original test plates and new test plates that add additional challenges for those over age 11. The MVPT-3 assesses an individual's visual perceptual ability without any motor involvement needed to make a response. It is especially useful with those who may have learning, motor, or cognitive disabilities. The MVPT-3 features new norms based on a nationally representative sample. An added, optional, feature of the MVPT-3 is response time norms, often used in rehabilitation settings. It is designed to be used for screening, diagnostic, and research purposes by teachers, psychologists, occupational therapists, educational specialists, optometrists, and others who may need a quick, reliable and valid measure of overall visual perceptual ability in children and adults. The manual also provides reliability and validity studies and comparisons for clinical populations.

Administration and Scoring

The MVPT-3 takes approximately 25 minutes to administer. The horizontal, multiple-choice item format of earlier versions has been retained. Test plates are contained in one easy-to-use book with an easel back. Test administration cues are provided on the record form to facilitate testing. Scoring is extremely easy; no basals or ceilings are needed. Raw scores are quickly converted to standard scores and percentile ranks. Optional response time data identifies whether an individual's responses are significantly delayed.
