Literature on the development of global motion and global form perception demonstrated their asynchronous developmental trajectories. However, former studies have failed to clearly establish the critical period of maturation for these specific abilities. This study aimed to analyze the developmental trajectories of global motion and global form discrimination abilities by controlling for basic visual functions and general cognitive ability and to present the global motion and global form normative scores. A sample of 456 children and adolescents (4–17 years of age) and 76 adults recruited from the Italian and Swedish general population participated in the study. Motion and form perception were evaluated by the motion coherence test and form coherence test, respectively. Raven’s matrices were used to assess general cognitive ability, the Lea Hyvärinen chart test was used for full- and low-contrast visual acuity, and the TNO test was used for stereopsis. General cognitive ability and basic visual functions were strongly related to motion and form perception development. Global motion perception had an accelerated maturation compared with global form perception. For motion perception, an analysis of the oblique effect’s development showed that it is present at 4 years of age. The standardized scores of global motion and form coherence tests can be used for clinical purposes.

关于全局运动和全局形式感知发展的文献证明了它们的异步发展轨迹。然而，以前的研究未能明确确定这些特定能力成熟的关键时期。本研究旨在通过控制基本视觉功能和一般认知能力来分析全局运动和全局形式辨别能力的发展轨迹，并呈现全局运动和全局形式规范分数。从意大利和瑞典一般人群中招募的 456 名儿童和青少年（4-17 岁）和 76 名成年人参与了这项研究。运动和形式感知分别通过运动相干测试和形式相干测试进行评估。Raven 矩阵用于评估一般认知能力，Lea Hyvärinen 图表测试用于全对比度和低对比度视力，TNO 测试用于立体视觉。一般认知能力和基本视觉功能与运动和形式知觉的发展密切相关。与全局形式感知相比，全局运动感知加速成熟。对于运动知觉，对斜效应发展的分析表明它在 4 岁时出现。整体运动和形式一致性测试的标准化分数可用于临床目的。与全局形式感知相比，全局运动感知加速成熟。对于运动知觉，对斜效应发展的分析表明它在 4 岁时出现。整体运动和形式一致性测试的标准化分数可用于临床目的。与全局形式感知相比，全局运动感知加速成熟。对于运动知觉，对斜效应发展的分析表明它在 4 岁时出现。整体运动和形式一致性测试的标准化分数可用于临床目的。
