Rey-osterrieth complex figure test
Brief paper and pencil drawing test
Copy a single complex geometric figure
Recall that figure few minutes after
Repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status
Focus on broader range of abilities/ cognitive functioning
12 subtest can be administered in under 30 minutes
