Exploring the Associations of the Bicycle Drawing Test (BDT) on Text-Based and Graphical Assessments in Undergraduate-Level Economics Courses

The Bicycle Drawing Test (BDT) serves to identify poor memory, psychomotor deficiencies, and cognitive deficiencies. This study examined 206 students' performance on the BDT measure, text-based and graph-based questions in undergraduate-level macroeconomics courses. Correlational analyses sugge...

Description
Summary:The Bicycle Drawing Test (BDT) serves to identify poor memory, psychomotor deficiencies, and cognitive deficiencies. This study examined 206 students' performance on the BDT measure, text-based and graph-based questions in undergraduate-level macroeconomics courses. Correlational analyses suggest that the drawing task component of BDT is positively correlated with students' performance on text-based questions. BDT performance also positively related with students' performance on graph-based questions. Regression analyses suggest that the BDT measure may positively impact students' performance on assessment questions. Lastly, gender differences were found in the performance of graph-based questions and the BDT measure. Implications are offered to instructors of economics courses.
