Quiz 10 - Rey-O Flashcards
When giving the Rey-O to a person, all the following procedures are commonly followed, EXCEPT:
a. Let the patient use their non-dominant hand to draw the figure. People are NOT
more likely to score in the “impaired” range when using their non-dominant vs.
dominant hand.
b. Place the Rey-O figure so its length runs along the test-takers horizontal plane
c. Let the test-taker rotate the Rey-O figure if that makes it easier for them to copy
d. Test-givers can keep track of the test-taker’s copying sequence, by drawing
exactly what the test-
c. Let the test-taker rotate the Rey-O figure if that makes it easier for them to copy
When giving the Rey-O, its commonplace to give the test-taker different colored
pencils as they complete portions of the figure. What is the purpose of this
administration strategy?
a. To see how test-takers handle distraction, while trying to focus on copying the
figure
b. To slow down the test-taker, so they copy slower and remember better.
c. It makes it easier for the test-giver to see the strategies used by the test-taker t to
draw the figure. If you know the order in which the colors were switched out, you
know the order in which the test-taker drew the figure.
d. To simultaneously check the test-takers ability to accurately perceive &
discriminate different colors.
c. It makes it easier for the test-giver to see the strategies used by the test-taker t to
draw the figure. If you know the order in which the colors were switched out, you
know the order in which the test-taker drew the figure.
Which of the following IS NOT an accurate descriptions of people’s Rey-O
performance, as it relates to age?
a. Rey-O performance stays pretty stable from the time people reach their early
twenties till the time they reach their mid-forties.
b. By the time people are in their sixties, their speed and accuracy drops dramatically
when completing the copy trial of the Rey-O
c. People’s age is negatively correlated with their performance on memory trials.
d. As people age, you tend to notice more incomplete corners (i.e., two lines that
make a corner don’t touch) in their Rey-O copy trials.
d. As people age, you tend to notice more incomplete corners (i.e., two lines that
make a corner don’t touch) in their Rey-O copy trials.
Who is most likely to do the worst on the Rey-O?
a. A woman with a high IQ
b. A man
c. A right-handed woman
d. A woman who’s taken a lot math & science classes in school
c. A right-handed woman
Who is most likely to do the best on the Rey-O?
a. Someone with strong executive functioning skills
b. Someone with a lot of formal education
c. Someone who has not learned how to read
d. Someone who’s completed less than ten years of formal education
a. Someone with strong executive functioning skills
All of the following are accurate statements about the impact of brain injury on Rey-O
performance, EXCEPT:
a. As many as 3/4 of frontal-lobe injured patients will produce significantly distorted
Rey-O copy drawings.
b. Patients with left-hemisphere damage demonstrate appreciative agnosia, seeing &
drawing the elements but unable to recreate the whole.
c. Patients with parietal-temporal lobe injury appear to have impaired ability to
program or generate a strategy for copying the figure.
d. Epilepsy patients showed no lateralized differences when given the Rey-O, after
undergoing left vs. right temporal lobe surgery.
c. Patients with parietal-temporal lobe injury appear to have impaired ability to
program or generate a strategy for copying the figure.
All of the following are accurate statements about the impact of Alzheimer’s on Rey-
O performance, EXCEPT:
a. Patients who experience Alzheimer’s begin showing deficits on the Rey-O even
while many other cognitive skills are working at average levels.
b. Early visual-spatial impairments have been attributed to reduced blood circulation,
particularly to the left hemisphere.
c. Rey-O copy performance can distinguish individuals with dementia due to
Alzheimer’s, from dementia due to Parkinson’s, from the absent-mindedness that
comes from normal aging.
d. The Rey-O is useful for detecting even mild forms of dementia-related cognitive
impairment.
b. Early visual-spatial impairments have been attributed to reduced blood circulation,
particularly to the left hemisphere.
The fact that Rey-O copy scores are effective for predicting driving safety in people
recovering from brain injury is an example of its ________________.
a. specificity
b. ecological validity
c. concurrent validity
d. sensitivity
b. ecological validity
