Captures Information about Fiive Domains of Neuropsychological Functioning

 

The RCFT standardizes the materials and procedures for administering the Rey complex figure, measures recognition memory for the elements of the Rey complex figure, and assesses the respondent’s ability to use cues to retrieve information. Appropriate for use with children and adults, the instrument enables you to gather information on major aspects of neuropsychological functioning.

Features and benefits

  • Provides a well-rounded cognitive snapshot. Captures information about five domains of neuropsychological functioning: visuospatial recall memory, visuospatial recognition memory, response bias, processing speed, and visuospatial constructional ability.
  • Standardizes a common stimulus. The 8½" × 11" stimulus card contains a computer-rendered replica of the original Rey complex figure. The normative data presented in the manual were collected using the Stimulus Card. Use of a different complex figure stimulus may render normative comparisons invalid and may affect the validity and utility of the obtained instrument.
  • Reliable discriminating power. Has been shown to discriminate mildly brain-injured patients from normal patients; it also discriminates brain-damaged patients with documented memory impairment who are able to live independently from those who are not and distinguishes deficient performance due to motor impairment from deficient performance due to memory impairment.
  • Diagnostically powerful. Studies show that the Recognition trial provides incremental diagnostic power compared with using recall trials alone.
  • Identifies possible causes of memory deficits. Evaluates the relative contributions of encoding, storage, and retrieval processes to memory performance.
  • In-Person e-Stimulus Books/Cards and Kits are convenient alternatives to paper administration that allow you to administer the RCFT face-to-face via tablet. Be sure to download our new white paper prior to administering.

 

Note: Stopwatch is required for administration.
