    Non-verbal Neuropsychological Test

    ROCF - an overview

    Objective: Evaluation of different cognitive


    functions, such as visuo-spacial abilities, memory
    attention, planning and working memory
    (executive functions).

    Instrument Type: Test

    Publication Date: 1941/1944

    Duration: Not timed, but length of time needed


    recorded
    PURPOSE

    Assesses contructional, organisational and Provides insight into multiple cognitive


    motor skills: Visuospatial constructional areas:
    ability
    Visual memory (short- and long-term memory) Attention & concentration
    Perceptual organisation & planning (executive A Planning & organising
    function) (Huguet & Regner, 2007; Sargenius et al., Nonverbal memory (difficult to encode verbally)
    2017)
    Fine-motor coordination (Zhang et al., 2021)
    Rationale
    - Visual drawing memory tests are mostly unaffected by language, culture & education
    (Roselli & Ardilla, 2003)
    - Abstract figure so it eliminates semantic knowledge (Zhang et al., 2021)

    - Ability to recall is influenced by the order a figure is organized when reconstructing


    - Ideal approach - see big picture, draw external features first (global processing)
    - Not ideal - see internal features first (local processing) (Savickaite et al., 2021; Slapik et al.,
    2019)
    Insights offered by the original design:
    - Precise copy under 3 minutes – normal processing
    - Accurate copy but slow – possible issues with perception or executive function
    - Poor copy and very slow – mental disability or dementia (Rey & Osterrieth, 1993)
    Applications
    - Clinically and in research across a wide range of ages (6 to 93 years) (Petilli et al., 2021)

    - In conjunction with other tests Rey Complex test can detect:


    ➤ Neurological diseases
    - Alzheimer disease, various dementias, Parkinson's disease, cerebellar ataxia, traumatic brain injury or brain
    tumours (Zhang et al., 2021)

    ➤ Psychological/psychiatric diseases
    - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, eating disorders, schizophrenia (Zhang et al., 2021)
    - Malingering or suspect effort (criminal cases) as it's difficult to ascertain what's being assessed (Liu et al., 2003;
    Reedy et al., 2013)

    ➤ Executive and cognitive function (Sargenius et al., 2017).


    ROCF

    Format: 3 Conditions
    Examinees are asked to reproduce a complicated line Copy: examinees copy image to the best of their
    drawing. ability with image in front of them
    They are not told initially that they have to Immediate Recall: examinees draw image to the
    remember it best of their ability from memory
    Delayed Recall: after
    PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES - RELIABILITY
    Psychometric Properties - Validity
    Construct validity

    - Moderate - RCF scores load heavily on visuospatial / nonverbal memory factors

    - Links to WAIS and WISC Block Design

    Criterion-related validity

    - RCF scores compared between probable Alzheimer's Disease [AD] patients and control - RCF scores
    significantly lower for AD patients

    (Berry et al., 19991, Feldman et al., 1999, Poulton & Moffitt, 1995)
    NORMATIVE DATA
    Administration
    Step 1 – Administered after instructions and materials provided
    Copy Trial (Max 5
    mins; Min 2 1⁄2 Participant asked to copy figure using the printed card to refer
    mins)
    Step 2 - Immediate Administered 3 minutes after Copy Trial
    Recall Trial (No
    Time Limit) Participant asked to draw the figure without the stimulus card

    Step 3 - Delayed Administered 30 minutes after Immediate Recall Trial


    Recall Trial (No
    Time Limit) Participant asked to draw the figure without the stimulus card

    Step 4 - Recognition Administered immediately after the Delayed Recall Trial


    Trial
    Participant asked to recognise 24 geometric figures, 12 of which are part of the stimulus figure and 12 of
    which are distractors

    Kreutzer et al., 2011; Shin et al, 2006; Strauss et al., 2006.


    SCORING
    Limitations
    - Different test versions have different criteria & scoring systems that do not align with standardised results - comparisons
    difficult (Kreutzer et al., 2011)

    - Although total administration time is around 45mins, time lapse of 30 mins can be disruptive to other assessments that might
    be occurring at the same time (Kreutzer et al, 2011)

    - Total score provides quantitative information but no detail regarding executive function and planning (Stern et al., 1994)

    - Qualitative scoring system available but are lengthy in administration (BQSS; Stern et al., 2006; Swensen et al., 2013)

    - No universal approach. Scoring is subjective and complex and can lead to bias (Kreutzer et al., 2011; Strauss et al., 2006)

    - Alternate forms (i.e. Taylor) are less sensitive to pick up deficits (Strauss et al., 2006)

    - Cultural factors need to be considered as RCF is western orientated (Rosselli & Ardila, 2003).

    - Gender and handedness are other aspects that need to be examined in any interpretation (Strauss et al., 2006)
    Strengths
    - Easy to administer (Strauss et al., 2006)

    - Good psychometric properties, adequate norms and validity (Mitrushina et al., 2005)

    - Screening assessment tool for malingering or suspect effect Recognition trial (Lu et al., 2003)

    - Enables explanatory detail regarding any secondary effect of brain injury (Shin et al., 2006)

    - Evaluates brain dysfunction i.e., enables a comparison between brain hemispheres (Shin et al., 2006)

    - Tests for presence of psychological conditions i.e., ADHD, Eating Disorder, Schizophrenia (Shin et al.,
    2006)

    - Tests for presence of dementia & other neurological conditions (Shin et al., 2006)
