The study of the rey complex figure test and recognition trial in the brain admaged patients
Abstract:
The objective of this research was to compare the visuoconstruction skill and
visual memory of brain damaged patients to normal individuals by using the Rey
Complex Figure Test and Recognition Trial (RCFT).
The study group was comprised of 15 brain damaged patients who were being
treated in Prasat Neurological Institute, Thailand and 15 volunteers in a control group
that had demographic qualities similar to those of the brain damaged group in terms
of age and gender. Data collection was tested by RCFT to assess the
visuoconstructive function and visual memory function of both sample groups. The
Thai Mental Status Examination (TMSE), Thai Mental Health Questionnaire
(TMHQ) and Questionnaire for Verifying Stroke-Free Status (QVSFS) were also
used to screen the volunteers in the control group for this study
Results revealed that the score on Copy, Immediate Recall, Delayed Recall
and Recognition Total Correct of the brain damaged group were significantly lower
than the control group (p<.001) and showed that the test can discriminate
visuconstructive function and visual memory function between the brain damaged
patients and control group.
These finding suggest that the RCFT is suitable for use as a visuoconstruction
and visual memory diagnostic test for brain damaged patients.
