Automated scoring for a Tablet-based Rey Figure copy task differentiates constructional, organisational, and motor abilities

Abstract Accuracy in copying a figure is one of the most sensitive measures of visuo-constructional ability. However, drawing tasks also involve other cognitive and motor abilities, which may influence the final graphic produced. Nevertheless, these aspects are not taken into account in conventional...

description	Abstract Accuracy in copying a figure is one of the most sensitive measures of visuo-constructional ability.

This system extracts 12 indices capturing various dimensions of drawing abilities. We have also analysed the structure of relationships between these indices and provided insights into the constructs that they capture. 102 healthy adults completed the T-RCF.
