Have a Question About Changes, both in physical and psychological development, are closely related to changes in motor functions e. Within psychomotorics we encounter many concepts: e.
Previous research showed that an incomplete level of FMS in children later might cause problems in their psychological and social development 7 — 9. Therefore, the evaluation of psychomotorics already in childhood can help reveal deficits in motor development and targeted interventions can be carried out.
In the evaluation of psychomotorics, a wide range of test batteries is used. The BOT-2 is a commonly used diagnostic instrument in the evaluation of the development of psychomotorics in the age range from 4 to The BOT-2 is mostly used in the field of medicine focusing on children—e. The test allows to determine the level of FMS in the general population as well as in specific groups of children with mental disorders 15 , Four areas of psychomotorics are evaluated: 1 fine manual control—preciseness and integrity, 2 manual coordination—manual skill and coordination in the upper limbs, 3 physical coordination—bilateral coordination and balance.
Further, the individual sub-tests of the BOT-2 as well as the overall standard score are standardized according to sex and age. It is also necessary to emphasize that, according to the authors of the BOT-2 12 , the BOT-2 SF is a screening tool whose results should determine whether any further assessment is necessary.
Although Bruininks and Bruininks 12 found acceptable the suggested four-factor model, which they verified using confirmatory factor analysis, several subsequent studies though pointed out possible psychomotor problems with this diagnostic tool especially with the BOT-2 SF. A more detailed view of the relations between individual sub-test items and the relevant overall sub-test score in the CF in middle-age school children 6—10 years was provided in studies 23 , Brahler et al.
Moreover, for other two items, Drawing Lines through Paths crooked and Walking Forward on a Line, an absolute ceiling effect was discovered, i. Carmosino et al. In contrast to Brahler et al. However, a high level of correlation between items and sub-test scores in the CF and SF do not necessarily imply that the two versions provide comparable or even identical results for psychomotor development.
Therefore, surprisingly, less attention has been given to the differences in the overall scores of the CF and the SF. Venetsanou et al. Nevertheless, comparing the standard score of the CF and the total point score of the SF does not make sense since the SF total point score does not consider age and sex. Therefore, the aim of this study is to verify the compatibility of the BOT-2 SF and BOT-2 CF in middle-age school children 8—11 years , using the standard score, which considers age and sex.
Further, we will verify whether the BOT-2 SF obtains sufficient sensitivity and specificity to adequately identify the different degrees of psychomotor development. The sample was selected from an elementary school without any specific specialization and did not include any children who were mentally or neurological impaired. The testing took place in October The procedures involved in our study were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible Czech national committee on human experimentation and with the Helsinki Declaration of , as revised in The research was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University, and the parents of all participants signed an informed consent.
The data were anonymized. No differences regarding sex were found in basic characteristics: age, weight, height, and BMI Table 1. The level of psychomotor development was assessed by the BOT-2 testing battery The children were tested using the complete version of the battery CF.
Each sub-test includes six to seven tasks. Sub-tests are: fine manual control 1 fine motor precision and 2 integration; manual coordination 3 manual dexterity, and 4 upper-limb coordination; body coordination 5 bilateral coordination and 6 balance; strength and agility 7 speed and 8 strength [complete list of items in Bruininks and Bruininks 12 ]. For each sub-test one to two tasks are selected from the CF form. The results for the SF were obtained from the results of the CF. Both scores represent normalized values, which consider age and sex of the participants This point score is further transformed to a standard score, which considers age and sex The data were collected in accordance with the BOT-2 manual 12 in the environment of the selected schools.
The measurement was carried out in the morning 8 a. It was supervised by the examiner and one teacher. Each participant was tested individually at eight different stations in one room. One professionally trained examiner measured all participants.
The Shapiro-Wilk test, the Martinez-Iglewicz test and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test did not reject the normality of the data.
Pearson's product moment correlations between the CF and SF, as well as between the individual sub-tests and the standard scores in the CF and SF were calculated. The BOT-2 diagnostic tool was used to evaluate four areas of psychomotor development: fine manual control fine motor precision and integration , manual coordination manual dexterity and upper-limb coordination , body coordination bilateral coordination and balance , strength and agility running speed and agility, strength.
When considering boys and girls together, the greatest differences in correlations between the sub-tests and the standard score of the CF and SF were found in fine manual control and body coordination. On the other hand, these correlations were the most stable regarding the CF and SF. A separate correlation analysis of each sex revealed the greatest difference of correlation between the body coordination sub-test and the standard score of the CF and the standard score of the SF in girls Table 3.
In the ROC analysis procedure we worked with a 5-point Likert scale established according to Bruininks and Bruininks 12 manual. In both the BOT-2 CF and SF this scale is used to transform the standard score to final categories 1 - well below average; 2 - below average; 3 - average; 4 - above average; 5 - well above average The aim of this study was to verify whether the degree of psychomotor development assessed by the BOT-2 SF is similar compared to the results of the BOT-2 CF in middle-age school children.
Further, the degree of relations between each sub-test and the two test forms SF and CF was assessed. According to literature 12 , 13 , 16 , the more comprehensive CF assesses the current degree of psychomotor development better and in more detail compared to the SF.
When we look closely at each sub-test of the CF, we see that participants have to pass several items within each sub-test. This means that the participants have a possibility to encounter more motor experience during the tests and have more time to adapt to it. This approach is called local independence. According to methodologists 28 , 29 , the assumption of local independence is typically violated in item sets and can lead to many problems including overestimating the degree of the measured trait or misleading specificity of the determined constructs In our opinion, the variance of the amount of items in each sub-test of the CF and SF might cause the violation of local independence, which can further influence the final difference in the observed degree of psychomotor development.
Although the results of Brown's 22 study, in which the IRT method was used, in particular the Rasch Measurement Model, did not confirm the violation of local independence in the BOT-2 short form, we assume that the similarity in the content of some motor tests e.
Our findings are not in line with previous studies 19 , 34 , which compared the results of the SF and CF. These studies compared the CF standard scores and the SF total point scores However, the SF total point score does not consider age and sex specifics.
The authors of the BOT-2 emphasize, when comparing the SF and CF results, that the SF standard score and the CF standard score, which consider factors of age and sex of the participants, must both be used They found out that the SF significantly overestimates the standard score compared to the CF.

The minimum recommended interval for reassessment with the BOT-2 is 3 months or more. The test-retest data gathered during development of the BOT-2 show minimal mean differences with an average retest interval of days, and average test score differences in the test-retest study are well below the SEms.
The differences beyond months are likely to represent developmental or skill gains, especially at lower age levels.
It is very unlikely that practice effects would influence the BOT-2 scores, since it is a performance based test without a guessing component, and the items are not used for practice during the interval between tests.
