Area of Science:

• Neuroscience
• Psychology

Background:

• The Rey figure test is widely used clinically and in research to evaluate visuoconstructional abilities, visual memory, and executive functions.
• Published normative data and adaptation studies for the Rey figure test in the Arab region are scarce, limiting its precise application.

Purpose of the Study:

• To establish normative data for the Rey figure test tailored to the Lebanese population.
• To enhance the psychometric adequacy and clinical practicality of the Rey figure test in Lebanon.

Main Methods:

• The Rey figure test was administered to a convenience sample of 254 Lebanese adults aged 30 to 99 years.
• Demographic variables including age, gender, and education level were collected and analyzed for their impact on test scores.

Main Results:

• Normative data were successfully derived for the Rey figure test based on the Lebanese sample.
• Age, gender, and years of education were found to significantly influence Rey figure test scores.

Conclusions:

• The derived normative data improve the practical utility and psychometric properties of the Rey figure test for use in Lebanon.
• This study provides essential reference data for accurate interpretation of Rey figure test results in Lebanese clinical and research contexts.
