Rey Complex Figure Test and

Recognition Trial
 2024

History of the • Andre Rey developed first complex figure to

differentiate brain dysfunction from traumatic brain
Test injury.
• Paul Osterrieth standardized Rey's administration
procedure and provided the initial normative data based
on neuropsychology.
• The test is often referred to as the Rey-Osterrieth
Complex Figure Test.
• One of the most commonly used tests in the field,
ranking top 10 used by neuropsychologists.
• "Permits assessment of a variety of cognitive processes,
including planning, organizational skills, and problem-
solving.

Purpose of the Test

Purpose:
Assess constructional , organizational and motor skills:
Visuospatial constructional ability
Visual memory ( short-and log term-memory function)
Perceptual organization and planning (executive
function)
Purpose:
Provide insight into multiple cognitive areas
 Attention and concentration
 Planning and organizing
 Non verbal memory(difficult to encode verbally)
Fine-motor coordination
Used with children to study cognitive development.
Use caution when interpreting ages 80-93.

Rey Complex Figure Test and Recognition Trial 3

 Rationale
Visual drawing memory tests are mostly unaffected by language ,culture and education
Abstract figure so it eliminates semantic knowledge
Ability to recall is influenced by the order a figure is organized when we constructing
Ideal approach- see big picture , draw external features first ( global processing )
Not ideal – see internal features first ( local processing )
In sights offer by the original design
 Precise copy under 3 minutes- normal processing
 Accurate copy but slow – possible issues with perception or executive functipns
 Poor copy and very slow – mental disability or dementia

 Age range 6 – 93 yrs

 Application

 Clinically and in research across a wide range of ages ( 6 – 93 yrs)

 In conjunction with other tests rey complex test can detect
 Neurological disease
 Alzheimer's ,Various dementias ,Parkinsons ,Traumatic brain injury , Brain tumors.
 Psychological/psychiatric diseases
 ADHD
 Eating disorders
 Schizophrenia
 Executive and cognitive functioning.

SCORING THE RECOGNITION TRIAL
• Recognizes an element that
is part of the RCF
A true positive
• Targeted Items 2 , 5 , 7 , 8 ,9
response
,12 ,13 ,15 , 19 , 20 , 22 and
24

• Recognizes the element that

is not part of RCF
A false positive
• 1 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 10 , 11 , 14 ,
response
16 , 17 , 18 , 21 and 23
SCORING THE RECOGNITION
TRIAL
Sum the circled numbers and enter this value as
raw score for recognition true positive

Do it same for recognition false positive

A True Negative Response
on the Recognition trial occurs when a
respondent indicates that he or she does
not recognize an item that is not part of the
figure (i.e., does not circle a distractor item)

The Recognition True Negatives

Raw Score is the inverse of the Recognition
False Positives raw score. Therefore, subtract the
Recognition False Positives raw score from 12, and
record this value as the raw score for Recognition
True Negatives
A false negative response on the Recognition
trial occurs when a respondent indicates that he or
she does not recognize an item that is part of the
figure.

The Recognition False Negatives raw

score is the inverse of the Recognition True
Positives raw score. Therefore, subtract the
Recognition True Positives raw score from 12, and
record this value as the raw score for Recognition
False Negatives.
The Recognition Total Correct raw score is the
sum of the Recognition True Positives and
Recognition True Negatives raw scores. Sum these
two scores and record this value as the
Recognition Total Correct raw score.
