One-Year Delayed Recall Performance of the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure in a Healthy Young Adult Sample

Abstract

This study investigated the performance of the very long-term delayed recall trial (1 year) of the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCF) in a healthy young adult sample. Forty-one healthy university students were given the delayed recall trial, one year after receiving the copy and the 3-minutes delayed recall trial of the ROCF. Although a significant decrease of the recall score was shown by comparison with the 3-minutes delayed recall trial, all the participants were able to draw a certain figure including the main features of the ROCF on the 1-year delayed recall trial.
