Hong Kong children in two age groups (3-4 years and 6-7 years) were asked to copy a number of geometric shapes. Orientation errors were found to correspond with two types of error observed in U.S. samples: inversions of shapes regarded by children as having "right-side-up" and "wrong-side up" positions, when presented for copying in a "wrong-side up" orientation; and left-right reversal of a shape inconsistent with the usual sequence of strokes in young children's copying. The results suggest the presence of common features in the way perception of a visual pattern is translated into a copied form
