Summary: | We examined the comparability of the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCFT) and the Taylor Complex Figure Test (TCFT) as measures of constructional praxis and visual recall in a sample of 38 patients who were administered the two figures in counterbalanced order. Copy scores did not differ for the two figures. There was some evidence that percent recall scores, but not absolute recall scores, were higher for the TCFT and more susceptible to proactive interference than those for the ROCFT. These results suggest that the two figures yield comparable results when copy or absolute recall scores are used, but that the TCFT may be easier to recall than the ROCFT when percent recall scores are used. |
