The Rey and Taylor figures, two visual perception and memory tests, are not equivalent in terms of their difficulty. The purpose of this study was to examine factors such as age, gender, order of administration, copy time, and copy score that could account for the variability in recall performance. Copy score was shown to be the best overall predictor of recall. Younger participants recalled more units than older participants on both complex figures. Furthermore, older participants appeared to benefit more from the presentation of the Taylor figure first compared to when they were presented with the Rey figure first. The present findings reveal the importance of test order and provide equations that can be used to facilitate the comparison of scores derived from the two figures in test-retest situations.
雷氏和泰勒图形测试是两项视觉感知与记忆测试，在难度方面并不等同。本研究的目的是考察年龄、性别、施测顺序、临摹时间和临摹分数等因素，这些因素可能解释回忆表现中的变异性。结果表明，临摹分数是回忆的最佳总体预测指标。在两个复杂图形测试中，较年轻的参与者比年长的参与者回忆起更多的单元。此外，与先呈现雷氏图形相比，年长的参与者似乎在先呈现泰勒图形时受益更多。本研究结果揭示了测试顺序的重要性，并提供了一些方程式，可用于在重测情况下便于比较从这两个图形得出的分数。
