Abstract

This study examined the equivalence of a graphics tablet-based computer administration of the Rey Complex Figure Test (RCF) with a traditional paper-and-pencil administration of the RCF. Participants were also assessed for computer anxiety, attitudes, and familiarity, as well as comfort with the computer equipment used in the study. Sixty-two undergraduate volunteers completed the RCF using the computer graphics tablet and an alternate form of the test (Taylor Complex Figure; TCF) using pencil and paper. RCF and TCF copies were independently scored by two pairs of scorers. No significant performance differences were observed in the first scoring pair; however, participants scored significantly higher on their paper-and-pencil reproduction than on their tablet reproduction in the second pair. No significant relationships between computer-based RCF performance and preexisting computer attitudes, anxiety, or familiarity were found. Participants’ ratings suggested that the graphics tablet was perceived as interesting but more difficult to use than the paper-and-pencil administration method. Despite the potential administration and scoring advantages of a computer graphics tablet-based administration, results did not support tablet use as an alternate administration method for the RCF.
