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."
Bender described a method for evaluating brain development in children aged 4 to 11 years old. This method involves observing how they react to a group of stimuli as a unified entity and then interpreting this reaction as a motor pattern that shapes their perception of the Gestalt.
