Abstract

FOSS, Maria Paula; BASTOS-FORMIGHERI, Mariana de Siqueira  and  SPECIALI, José Geraldo. REY COMPLEX FIGURES FOR THE ELDERLY. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2010, vol.9, n.1, pp. 53-61. ISSN 1677-0471.

The objective of the present study was to create normative data for the elderly population in the Rey complex figure test, to assess the relationship between the copying strategies and memory reproduction, and to determine the inclusion of figure retrieval after 30 minutes. The FCR was applied to 70 elderly subjects who copied the Rey complex figure and performed evocation after three and 30 minutes within the Osterrieth evaluation system. In the copy of the figure, the 50th percentile (P50) was = 30.5 points, in the Memory after 3 minutes, P50 = 12 points and in the memory after 30 minutes, P50 = 12.5. Type IV (additive details approach) strategies predominated in the copy of the figure. The present results were lower than those obtained by the Brazilian version. The predominance of type IV revealed poorly developed copying strategies that possibly influenced the reproduction of memory. Differences between short-term (3 minutes) and long-term (30 minutes) memory for these individuals were not found.
