TOSELLO, Dalva de Jesus Tavares. Contribution for the normative study of Visual Hooper Organization Test (VOT). Psicol. hosp. (São Paulo) [online]. 2005, vol.3, n.1, pp. 59-83. ISSN 2175-3547.

This is a study that has the purpose of collaborating for a standardization project of the Visual Hooper Organization Test (VOT), by H. Elston Hooper, published in 1958 and revised in 1983, with the purpose of evaluating the function of visual discrimination. It is indicative of the social demographic profile of the subjects and it organizes the answers through statistical analysis, and through consultation with a bibliography, such that the answers indicate treatment. The group of subjects is composed of: 50 children of both sexes, from 7 to almost 19 years of age, who are elementary and high school students; who have normal eyesight or wear glasses, and who have no previously diagnosed neurological pathology. The test consists of a series of 30 stimulii presented to the subjects in the form of illustrations of fragmented objects, re-arranged on cards. The stimulii are presented with increasing difficulty, whereby the subject is requested to organize each illustration visually and name it. The results of this study don't point out great differences in terms of social demographic variables, but it does deal with certain considerations regarding the cultural influence on the naming of the object of stimulus, which is helpful in certain ways.
