A graphic analysis of the Bender gestalt test
No full textComputer technology has made rapid advances over the past several years. New developments in hardware have included the use of disks, cassette tape storage, and computer graphics. Hardware designed for specific uses has rapidly become a major component of the computer graphics technology. Many new programs have advanced the field of computer graphics and have facilitated the development of a new process termed digitizing.The present study used an Intergraph Computer System to digitize Bender Gestalt Test (BGT) protocols. This digitizing approach, although performed by the computer, can be likened to (a) taking a grid at 1/100th inch resolution, (b) placing the grid over the drawn designs, (c) reporting the X,Y coordinates which intersect the lines of the BGT drawing, (d) interpreting those X,Y coordinates statistically, and (e) developing norms for various aspects of subject drawings.A comparison was made between the computer digitizing method and the traditional method of scoring BGT protocols. The comparison was based on six indices selected from the 1977 Hutt Adience-Abience Scale. Data were collected from 60 children diagnosed as severely emotionally handicapped (SEH) and 60 children diagnosed as "normal."Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability as well as criterion-related and concurrent validity were analyzed. Reliability results favored the computer approach, while criterion-related validity was essentially the same for both computer and traditional scoring methods. Criterion validity for the traditional technique was slightly, but not significantly, higher. Concurrent validity results indicated a limited degree of similarity between the two methods; however, the discriminant properties of both methods differed. With two exceptions, all discriminant indices for both scoring methods were not significant. Drawing placement and rotation were statistically significant under the traditional method of assessment; however, neither the computer nor the traditional scoring method clearly discriminated SEH from normal children. With BGT assessment based on only six indices, lack of successful discrimination was not surprising. Previous studies recommended that the BGT be used only in a test battery when assessing emotional handicaps. The current study supported those recommendations and suggested that computer scoring can be more reliable and equally as valid as the traditional scoring method for assessing emotional factors on the BGT protocol.Thesis (D.

Visual-motor development and the emergence of emotional indicators : a reexamination of the Bender gestalt test with young children
No full textThe purpose of this investigation was to determine the extent to which visual-motor maturity influenced the emergence of diagnostic emotional signs on the Bender Gestalt Test. The Bender Gestalt Test was administered to 400 first and second grade students from lower middle class homes in Wisconsin. The subjects were in regular education classes and were, therefore, not identified as having learning or emotional problems. Each subject was given a Bender Gestalt Test, which was subsequently scored for developmental errors and emotional indicators according to the Koppitz system. Pearson product moment correlation coefficients were computed for all emotional indicators and all developmental errors. This was referred to as the omnibus correlation coefficient. Correlations were also computed for all developmental errors and each emotional indicator. A coefficient of determination was computed for all developmental errors and all emotional indicators. Finally, the frequency of each emotional indicator was plotted at each developmental age. The omnibus correlation and the following emotional indicators attained statistical significance confused order, wavy line, increased size, and small size. All of the correlations indicated little if any relationship exists between emotional indicators and developmental errors. In addition, little if any variance is shared by the two above named entities. While the appearance of confused order and increasing size can be attributed to developmental factors, the emergence of small size cannot. Several emotional indicators appear almost unrelated to visual-motor development, specifically dashes for circles, large size, and expansion. When these emotional indicators appear in the protocols of young children further investigation regarding emotional functioning seems warranted. Wavy line and confused order do appear frequently. This suggests that it is not unusual for children to render these emotional indicators.Thesis (Ph. D.)Department of Educational Psycholog
Stellar disks and embedded bars in early-type galaxies
No full textWe present photometric disk-bulge
decompositions of 28 southern early-type galaxies with types in
either the
RC3 or ESO-Lauberts & Valentijn catalogues.
The
decomposition method applied here is based on that
developed by Scorza & Bender (1995) but the improved version allows
for arbitrary surface brightness profiles of the disk models.
We find three types of objects in this sample:
bulge-dominated systems, with fully embedded close to edge-on disks;
disk-dominated close to edge-on objects and
objects with barred disks being modestly inclined down to face-on.
Like in Scorza & Bender (1995), the analysis made here indicates
that the superposition of a thin disk and an elliptical bulge can give
good account for the morphology of most of the galaxies. We find the
disks to have a diversity of surface brightness profiles, the most
frequent case being that of a disk with an exponential profile, which
becomes steeper at small radii. After disk subtraction, the bulges
follow more closely the law.
Five of the galaxies show signatures of embedded bar components.
These have flat
surface brightness profiles at small radii and rectangular shape, which are
typical features of barred early-type galaxies.
We find that the properties of the galaxies, most notably the
disk-to-total ratio, correlates only modestly with the original
classification of the galaxies
Watershed at Leavenworth: Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Command and General Staff School.
No full textIn 1926, Dwight D. Eisenhower was first in his class and an honor graduate of the U. S. Army Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth. Eisenhower's year at the school was a formative period in his career and prepared him for many of his demanding future assignments. In his study of Eisenhower, Mark C. Bender eloquently testifies to Ike's drive, individualism, and sense of purpose as they relate to his assignment at the school.
This Combat Studies Institute Special Study provides the most complete account of Eisenhower's year at Leavenworth. Major Bender reveals why Eisenhower came to Leavenworth, what he accomplished in and out of the classroom, and how the Leavenworth experience influenced his subsequent military achievements. The publication of this study commemorates Eisenhower's birth centennial and illustrates the significant connection between Eisenhower and Fort Leavenworth
