Rey–Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCF)

The ROCF is a visuospatial praxis test that draws upon various cognitive functions, including attention, visuospatial abilities, non-verbal memory, and task planning skills⁴⁰. This task has three conditions: copy, immediate recall, and delayed recall. In the copy condition, participants are presented with a complex line drawing and are asked to draw a copy of this figure from sight. In the immediate recall condition, the reference figure is removed, and participants are immediately instructed to draw the figure from memory. Finally, in the delayed recall condition, participants are asked to reproduce the figure from memory after a 30-min delay period. Performance on the ROCF is scored according to the quantitative scoring system of Meyers and Meyers⁴¹, which includes 18 distinct figure elements which are separately scored with 0 to 2 points depending on correctness of position and completeness. Each figure reproduction is given a total score out of 36 possible points. This investigation only employs the copy and immediate recall conditions, as these conditions are most comparable with the OCS-Plus Praxis subtask. Participants are assigned a ROCF proportional score denoting the memory score as a percentage of the copy condition score for comparison with the OCS-Plus Figure Copy Recall score.
