“…The Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence for Young Children was shown to have acceptable face validity as well good test-retest reliability (r > 0.78) and internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.60-0.81; . Construct validity has also been established in children aged 4 to 10 years (Barnett et al, 2016;Lopes et al, 2016;Valentini et al, 2017).…”

Purpose: The present study examined the motor competence of preschool children from Belgium and the United States (US), and the influence of perceived motor competence on actual motor competence. A secondary objective was to compare the levels of motor competence of Belgian and US children using the US norms of the Test of Gross Motor Development, Second Edition (TGMD-2). Methods: All participants (N = 326; ages 4–5 years) completed the TGMD-2 and the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence for Young Children. Results: Belgian children performed significantly higher on actual object control and locomotor skills than US children. However, both Belgian and US children scored significantly worse on the TGMD-2 when compared to the US norm group from 1997–1998. Furthermore, perceived motor competence was significantly related to actual object control skills but not locomotor skills. Conclusion: The present study showed cross-cultural differences in actual motor competence in young children. The findings also indicate a secular downward trend in childhood competence levels, possibly due to a decrease in physical activity and increase in sedentary behavior. Future research should consider conducting an in-depth exploration of physical activity contexts such as physical education to better understand cross-cultural differences in motor competence.

“…In older children, previous investigations have demonstrated an acceptable face validity of the 12 FMS items of the PMSC in both Australian (Barnett et al ., ) and Portuguese school‐aged children (Lopes et al ., in press). In addition, these studies (Barnett et al .; Lopes et al .) noted that some school‐aged children had difficulty to understand the locomotor skills such as the step and slide and gallop , and demonstrations of these skills were required. Additionally, the hop was not well understood by the Portuguese children (Lopes et al .).…”

“…In terms of the ball skills, previous studies with school‐aged children have shown good face validity (Barnett et al ., ; Lopes et al ., in press). In this study, the bounce was not as well recognised as the other ball skills, and while around one in three children correctly identified the catch as a catch , the same proportion identified the skill as a throw .…”

Overall, this instrument demonstrated an acceptable reliability in preschool children and has provided preliminary information for examining the perceptions of movement skills. This age group presents a key target area for occupational therapists, who can assist preschool children to further develop fundamental movement skills, integrate these skills in their roles and occupations and increase engagement in meaningful physical activity in the long term.

“…However, such scales are few when compared to the vast number in written text alone. More recent studies have used pictorial scales where accurate comprehension is compromised by literacy level of the respondents, or the traditional instrument took too long to complete[ 33 - 35 ]. Some of these scales have used only pictures and no text.…”

AIMTo assess the performance of a newly designed, culturally adapted screening tool for autism spectrum disorder (ASD).METHODSItems for the screening tool were modeled from already documented checklists and diagnostic criteria for ASD. Each item in text was paired with a photograph that illustrated the written content, which was in the 2 main local languages. The final product had 21 items and was named the pictorial autism assessment schedule (PAAS). Performance of PAAS was tested on a clinical sample of 18-48 mo old children, diagnosis naïve, presenting with developmental deficits. Mothers completed PAAS checklist. Based on clinical diagnosis, which was taken as the gold standard, children were later grouped into ASD (Group 1) and non-ASD developmental disorders (Group 2). Mothers of a control sample of typically developing children also completed PAAS (Group 3).RESULTSA total of 105 children (Group 1-45, Group 2-30, Group 3-30) participated in the study. Mean age of Group 1 and Group 2 were 36 and 40 mo respectively. Majority were male in all 3 groups. Performance of PAAS in discriminating between ASD and non-ASD developmental disorders was sensitivity 88.8%, specificity 60.7%, positive predictive value (PPV) 78.4%, negative predictive value (NPV) 77.2%, likelihood ratio (LR+) 2.26, and LR- 0.18. Performance of PAAS in discriminating between ASD and typical development was sensitivity 88.0%, specificity 93.3%, PPV 95.2%, NPV 84.0%, LR+ 13.3 and LR- 0.12. The results indicated that that a positive result from PAAS was 2.26 times more likely to be found in a child with ASD than in a child with non-ASD developmental disorder. A positive result from PAAS was 13.3 times more likely to be found in a child with ASD than in a child with typical development.CONCLUSIONPAAS is an effective tool in screening for ASD. Further study is indicated to evaluate the feasibility of using this instrument for community screening for ASD.

Validity and reliability of a pictorial instrument for assessing perceived motor competence in Portuguese children

Abstract: The PMSC can be used to investigate perceptions of children's FMS competence. This instrument can also be satisfactorily used among Portuguese children.
