Figure Drawing Tests
Modified Taylor Complex Figure (MTCF)
The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) is commonly used in neuropsychology to assess visuospatial abilities in children and adults. The Taylor Complex Figure (TCF) was developed as an alternate form for the ROCF but has been shown in numerous studies since 1990 to be easier to learn and remember than the ROCF. The Modified Taylor Complex Figure (MTCF) has been shown in several studies to produce comparable total scores, completion time, and validity coefficients to the ROCF.

Bicycle Drawing Test: Model (for Copy Performance)
A model of a bicycle for use in a copy trial for the Bicycle Drawing Test (BDT) was created by Dr. Hubley in 2002.

Memory Test for Older Adults (MTOA)
The Memory Test for Older Adults (MTOA), which is described in more detail under Tests for Older Adults, contains two simplified visuospatial tasks (i.e., geometric or complex figures) specifically designed to be more appropriate for use with older adults. Norms are currently available for individuals who are 55-84 years of age and are being collected for individuals who are ages 85+. The MTOA figures may also be of use with individuals who have lower educational attainment.
