Ps. Fastenau et al., Adult norms for the Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test and for supplemental recognition and matching trials from the extended complex figure test, CLIN NEURPS, 13(1), 1999, pp. 30-47
The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test ("the Rey"; Osterrieth, 1944; Rey, 1
941) has accumulated a considerable literature as a test of visual-spatial
perception/construction and memory. The Extended Complex Figure Test (ECFT;
Fastenau, 1996a, in press-a; Fastenau Be Manning, 1992) supplements the Re
y with Recognition and Matching trials that follow Copy, Immediate Recall,
and Delayed Recall. The Rey and ECFT were administered to 211 healthy adult
s. Age ranged from 30 years to 85 years (M = 62.9, SD = 14.2), education ra
nged from 12 years to 25 years (M = 14.9, SD = 2.6), 554E were women, and o
ver 95% were Caucasian. Age and education effects were evident on all trial
s (Multiple R ranged .23 to .50, p <.05), but education explained minimal v
ariance (usually 2-3%) on copy and memory trials. Gender effects were negli
gible, if present. Age-appropriate norms are presented using Osterrieth's 3
6-point scoring, overlapping cells, and convenient tables for converting ra
w scores to scaled scores.
