Assessing children's memory productions of the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure.
This report describes developmental changes in children's memory productions of the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure and in the relation of memory to copy productions, and a method for evaluating these productions that is sensitive to parameters relevant to neuropsychological diagnosis. Based on protocols from a standardization sample of 454 children between the ages of 5 and 14 (Waber & Homes, 1985), a system was devised for objectively evaluating organization, production style, and accuracy. Normative findings are described and implications for the use of this instrument in the neuropsychological assessment of children discussed.
