The test has been used as a screening device for brain damage. Bender herself said it was "a method of evaluating maturation of gestalt functioning children 4-11's brain functioning by which it responds to a given constellation of stimuli as a whole, the response being a motor process of patterning the perceived gestalt."

The screening version of the Bender test - Gradual Scoring System aims to assess the perceptomotor maturity of an individual by reproducing the drawing of three gestalt figures (Rueda, Sousa, Santos, & Noronha, 2016). Understood as the ability to perceive, integrate external stimuli and reproduce them in a motor action, this ability has been related to several cognitive aspects, such as visual perception, attention, memory, praxis, temporal and spatial concepts, organization and motor coordination (Bender, 1955; Koppitz, 1989; Rueda et al., 2016; Sisto, Noronha, & Santos, 2006). Because it represents the principles of Gestalt, proximity, similarity and closure, the activity proposed by the Bender test is not a simple task, as it is necessary to stick to both the structure and the forms of the stimuli, composed of points or loops, straight lines, curves and angles. Thus, seeing and reproducing figures requires the development and interaction of several cognitive skills that can enable and favor responses addressed to an objective (Bender, 1955). 2ff7e9595c
