The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCF), which was developed by Rey in 1941 and standardized by Osterrieth in 1944, is a widely used neuropsychological test for the evaluation of visuospatial constructional ability and visual memory. Recently, the ROCF has been a useful tool for measuring executive function that is mediated by the prefrontal lobe. The ROCF consists of three test conditions: Copy, Immediate Recall and Delayed Recall. At the first step, subjects are given the ROCF stimulus card, and then asked to draw the same figure. Subsequently, they are instructed to draw what they remembered. Then, after a delay of 30 min, they are required to draw the same figure once again. The anticipated results vary according to the scoring system used, but commonly include scores related to location, accuracy and organization. Each condition of the ROCF takes 10 min to complete and the overall time of completion is about 30 min.

Introduction: On-road tests are considered the gold standard for evaluating real-world driving skills. However, their reliability and validity remain inadequately established, particularly under varying legal and road conditions across countries.
Aim: This study investigates the discriminant validity of the closed-course version of the Standardized On-Road Assessment for Drivers (SOAD) in Japan.

Memory deficits are a hallmark of many different neurological and psychiatric conditions. The Rey-Osterrieth complex figure (ROCF) is the state-of-the-art assessment tool for neuropsychologists across the globe to assess the degree of non-verbal visual memory deterioration. To obtain a score, a trained clinician inspects a patient's ROCF drawing and quantifies deviations from the original figure.

Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) not only affects memory but also impairments in visuospatial cognitive functions, with early-stage patients often receiving insufficient attention.
- A study involving 57 AD patients and 22 cognitively normal (CN) individuals investigated the relationship between myelin integrity (measured using T1w/T2w ratios) and visuospatial abilities through the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Copy Test.
- Results revealed that lower myelin integrity in specific brain areas (right middle temporal gyrus and right praecuneus) was significantly linked to visuospatial cognitive deficits in AD patients, highlighting the importance of myelin health in cognitive function.
A benchmark for Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test automatic scoring.

The Rey-Osterrieth complex figure (ROCF) test is a neuropsychological task that can be useful for early detection of cognitive decline in the elderly population. Several computer vision systems have been proposed to automate this complex analysis task, but the lack of public benchmarks does not allow a fair comparison of these systems. To advance in that direction, we present a benchmarking framework for the automatic scoring of the ROCF test that provides: the ROCFD528 dataset, which is the first open dataset of ROCF line drawings; and experimental results obtained by several modern deep learning models, which can be used as a baseline for comparing new proposals.

Introduction: Obsessive compulsive disorder is associated with affected executive functioning, including memory, cognitive flexibility, and organizational strategies. As it was reported in previous studies, patients with preserved executive functions respond better to pharmacological treatment, while others need to keep trying different pharmacological strategies.
Material And Methods: In this work we used machine learning techniques to predict pharmacological response (OCD patients' symptomatology reduction) based on executive functioning and clinical variables.
