Often the choice of the best neuropsychological test is hard because of a number of variables that can influence a subject's performance. In this regard, tests originally devised to investigate cognitive functions in healthy adults are not often appropriate to analyze cognitive performance in old subjects with low education because of their intrinsically complex nature. In the present paper, we present normative values for the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure B Test (ROCF-B) a simple test that explores constructional praxis and visuospatial memory. We collected normative data of copy, immediate and delayed recall of the ROCF-B in a group of 346 normal Italian subjects above 40years. A multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluate the potential effect of age, sex, and education on the three tasks administered to the subjects. Age and education had a significant effect on copying, immediate recall, and delayed recall as well as on the rate of forgetting. Correction grids and equivalent scores with cut-off values relative to each task are available. The availability of normative values can make the ROCF-B a valid instrument to assess non-verbal memory in adults and in the elderly for whom the commonly used ROCF-A is too demanding.
