Objective To investigate the performance of visual-motor integration (VMI) of preschool children in Nanjing,and to analysis the related influencing factors,in order to provide reference for clinical work on VMI development at early childhood education. Methods Totally 483 preschool children from 6 kindergartens in the main city of Nanjing were selected in this study by stratified random sampling method from March to May 2017. And the general data and visual-motor integration development were assessed. Results 1) Visual-motor integration capability improved and the original score of VMI was increased in older children. 2) There was no significant gender difference on VMI standard scores among all age groups (P>0.05). 3) Scores of VMI in all age groups except group aged six years old and eight months to nine months were significantly higher than the norm of the United States (P<0.01). 4) There were low correlations between VMI standard score and the basic information,including learning experience of dance,learning instrument,education level of parents(r=0.11-0.13,P<0.05). Conclusions Visual motor integration improves with the age getting older,but no significant gender differences on VMI is observed. Education level of parents,learning experience of dance and musical instruments at early childhood is correlated with the development of children's visual motor integration ability.
