Purpose: in this article a modification of the MOT 4-6 will be presented in order to make this test a screening tool. Material: The proper study was conducted in stages. The first one is the evaluation of discriminative power and a difficulty level coefficient of particular tasks, further stages include the evaluation of reliability and validity, also normalization and standardization of the analyzed test. Results. The received results validate the reasonableness of eliminating 5 tasks. All of them are characterized by the lowest discriminative power out of all test samples. The values of psychometric coefficients of the newly created tool allow for evaluating it as reliable (r = .99), internally consistent (Cronbach’s alpha 0.77) and valid (r = 0.93). Conclusions. The analyzed MOT 4-6 modification is a valuable screening test, application of which may be helpful on assessing of possible abnormalities in child’s psychomotor development.References
