Question

What neuropsychologic test shows nine designs to the patient, then asks for recall of as many as possible?

Answer 1

Biber Figure Learning Test (Glosser et al., 1989)

• This visuospatial list learning task consists of 9 black and white geometric designs presented over five trials.
• Designs were presented one at a time in a fixed order, for three seconds each.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The neuropsychological test you are referring to is likely the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCFT).
• This test involves showing the patient a complex geometric figure (the nine designs) and asking them to copy it.
• After a short delay, the patient is then asked to recall and draw as much of the figure as they can from memory.
• The test is used to assess various cognitive functions, including visuospatial abilities, visual memory, and executive functioning.
• It can be useful in evaluating individuals with neurological or neuropsychological conditions, such as traumatic brain injury or dementia.
