WHY THIS WORKSHOP?
Reliable scoring of the Rey Complex Figure and Recognition Trial is a trained skill, not a read-through
This will be a two hour workshop covering the scoring the 18 scoring items on the RCFT. Each scoring item will be discussed and demonstrated. the scoring criteria of the 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch rules will be discussed in detail. We will also cover the Recognition Trial.
Most scoring drift on the RCFT happens quietly — in how placement error is judged, in how a distorted-but-present element gets coded, in how examiners choose between 0.5 and 1. This session is built to close that gap through guided, side-by-side practice rather than lecture alone.
This workshop will contain a hands on scoring practice as we progress through the workshop. Each participant is requested to bring their own ruler and pencil to use in the scoring practice.
Webinar: At this time only a Webinar version is available. Those wanting a webinar to train their Psychologists, Technicians, Post Doctoral Students and Fellows, please contact John Meyers ()
