The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) is a commonly used neuropsychological measure that assesses visuospatial processing, planning and visuomotor integration. Using samples of clinically referred (N = 20) and non-clinical (N = 44) adults, the present study examines the psychometric properties of a simple method of scoring organizational approach to the ROCF. Developed by Savage et al. (1999) and refined by Deckersbach et al. (2000), this simple 5-point organizational scoring system allows for the quick and accurate assessment of organizational quality. Results suggest that this system is internally consistent and can be scored reliably. Correlations with measures of visuomotor integration and accuracy of rendition after a delay provide evidence of convergent validity. Organization scores were independent of both Verbal and Performance IQ estimates. However, discriminant validity analyses found that high-functioning patients referred for a neuropsychological assessment did not score significantly different from a non-clinical sample, raising questions about the diagnostic utility of this measure with less impaired populations. Implications for clinical practice are discussed, as are directions for future research.
雷-奥斯特里茨复杂图形(ROCF)是一种常用的神经心理学测量方法,用于评估视觉空间处理、规划和视觉运动整合能力。本研究以临床转诊的成年人(N = 20)和非临床成年人(N = 44)为样本,检验了一种简单的ROCF组织方法评分的心理测量特性。这种简单的5分组织评分系统由萨维奇等人(1999年)开发,并由德克斯巴赫等人(2000年)完善,可快速、准确地评估组织质量。结果表明,该系统内部一致,评分可靠。与视觉运动整合测量和延迟后再现准确性的相关性提供了收敛效度的证据。组织得分与言语智商和操作智商估计值均无关。然而,判别效度分析发现,转诊进行神经心理学评估的高功能患者与非临床样本的得分没有显著差异,这引发了关于该测量方法在受损程度较轻人群中的诊断效用的问题。本文讨论了对临床实践的影响以及未来研究的方向。
