The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCF) is a widely used neuropsychological test for the evaluation of drawing disorders in different clinical populations, and, in particular, in persons with neurodevelopmental disorders. The aim of the present study is to provide normative data for ROCF copying (ROCF-Direct copy) and drawing from memory (ROCF-Immediate recall) in Italian-speaking children. The sample consisted of 348 children (147 males and 199 females), aged 7-11 years, recruited from elementary schools in Southern Italy. Normative data were gathered from 312 participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria, and estimated centiles were obtained according to the LMS method providing normalized growth centile standards. Results showed a significant effect of age on performance in both tasks, with a steady increase of drawing accuracy, whereas participants' gender and mean level of parental education did not exert any significant effect. Thus, normative data were stratified by age, and percentile scores were provided allowing a practical use of the ROCF for the clinical evaluation of drawing abilities in both typical and atypical children.
瑞文-奥斯特里恩复杂图形测验（ROCF）是一种广泛应用于神经心理学的测试，用于评估不同临床人群的绘画障碍，特别是在神经发育障碍患者中。本研究的目的是为意大利语儿童的 ROCF 直接复制（ROCF-Direct copy）和记忆绘图（ROCF-Immediate recall）提供正常数据。该样本由来自意大利南部小学的 348 名儿童（147 名男性和 199 名女性）组成，年龄在 7-11 岁之间。正常数据来自于 312 名符合纳入标准的参与者，通过 LMS 方法获得了估计的百分位数，从而提供了标准化的生长百分位数标准。结果表明，这两项任务的表现都受到年龄的显著影响，绘图准确性稳步提高，而参与者的性别和平均父母教育水平没有产生任何显著影响。因此，根据年龄对正常数据进行了分层，并提供了百分位分数，这使得 ROCF 可以在典型和非典型儿童的绘画能力的临床评估中得到实际应用。
