Abstract
The Complex Figure Test was designed by Rey (1941) to assess visual perception and visual memory in brain-damaged subjects. In 1944, Osterrieth administered the Rey figure to 230 children ranging in age from 4 to 15 years old and to 60 adults between 16 and 60 years old (Lezak, 1983). In 1969, Taylor made an alternative figure to be used for retesting (Lezak, 1983). In contemporary neuropsychology, the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure is one of the most frequently used tests to assess constructional and visuospatial abilities.
