Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

The Rey Complex-Figure Test uses a geometric figure with multiple components. Patients initially are instructed to copy the figure. After a forty-five-minute delay (where there are usually intervening assessments administered), patients are then reminded of the figure and instructed to draw it from memory as best they can. This test has been useful in the assessment of nonverbal memory as well as hemispatial neglect (attention). Additionally, patients with differing clinical pathologies have been shown to make specific types of spatial errors.
