Reliability and normative data for the Benton Visual Form Discrimination Test.
Visuoperceptual disorders are a common consequence of brain disease. The Visual Form Discrimination Test is a task designed to assess the ability to make fine visual discriminations. Although its validity to assess the visuoperceptual impairments in patients with different neurological conditions has been well established, the normative data base for the test has remained small. The clinical use of the test has been limited by the scanty normative data available. Thus, with the aim of assisting the clinicians in interpreting more accurately the performances of their patients we investigated the test-retest reliability of the Benton's VFDT and also provide normative data obtained on a sample of 397 healthy individuals.
