COMPARABILITY OF THE REY-OSTERRIETH AND TAYLOR FORMS OF THE COMPLEX FIGURE TEST

This study investigated the equivalence of the Rey-Osterrieth and Tayl or forms of the Complex Figure Test (CFT). Forty healthy subjects, equ ivalent for age. Full Scale IQ, and handedness, were randomly assigned to either the Rey-Osterrieth or Taylor condition. Although results sh ow that the two figures are comparable tasks of copy accuracy (p = .18 7), significantly higher recall accuracy scores were produced by subje cts in the Taylor Condition (p < .001). The Taylor group also differed significantly on copy organizational quality scores (p < .01), althou gh copy time was longer for the Rey-Osterrieth condition (p < .05).
