| Abstract | The aim of present study is to estimate the magnitude of practice effects of the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) in a Japanese college students sample (female: n=104) using three different test-retest intervals (1, 3, or 12 month). Results suggested that the magnitude of practice effects was related to test-retest intervals, but the significant practice effects was also observed in 12 months which is the longest period. In conclusion, a more prudent attitude was required for repeated administration of the ROCF and the interpretation of the results. |
