Abstract: The "Test of Visual Perceptual Skills -- Fourth Edition" (TVPS-4) is a recently revised assessment of motor-free perceptual abilities, that was standardized in the United States. The TVPS-4 is commonly used by pediatric occupational therapists, health professionals and educators, therefore it is important that its psychometric properties and use in cross-cultural contexts are investigated. The study aim was to examine the convergent validity of the TVPS-4 when completed by Australian children. Thirty typically developing children aged 6-12 years (17 females and 13 males; mean age 8.7 years; SD = 1.7) completed the TVPS-4, the "Developmental Test of Visual Perception -- Third Edition" (DTVP-3) and the "Motor-Free Perception Test -- Fourth Edition" (MVPT-4). Spearman Rho correlation analyses with bootstrapping were completed to examine the associations between the TVPS-4, DTVP-3 and MVPT-4. The TVPS-4 total scale raw score exhibited strong significant correlations with the DTVP-3 (rho = 0.745, p < 0.000) and MVPT-4 (rho = 0.791, p < 0.000) total scale raw scores, and moderate to strong significant correlations with all of the DTVP-3 subscales (rho = 0.540 to 0.717, p = 0.002 to 0.000) and three of the MVPT-4 subscales (rho = 0.536 to 0.695, p = 0.004 to 0.000). Several weak to moderate significant correlations were found between the TVPS-4 and DTVP-3 subscale raw scores (rho = 0.370 to 0.607, p = 0.044 to 0.001). The TVPS-4 and MVPT-4 subscale raw scores exhibited several weak to strong, positive and statistically significant associations (rho = 0.385 to 0.600, p = 0.036 to 0.001). Australian children appeared to complete the TVPS-4 without any cross-cultural issues. The study findings suggest that the TVPS-4 assesses some similar motor-free perceptual abilities as the DTVP-3 and MVPT-4. This study provides some preliminary insights about the TVPS-4's convergent validity with the Australian context. The primary clinical implication is that the study findings add to the TVPS-4's body of validity evidence. Further research studies are recommended.
