Assesses figural short-term and long-term memory. This special ability test assesses memory for figural material with free recall and using a learning paradigm that tests the increase in learning after repeated presentation. The test also makes it possible to test short- and long-term retention and recognition. The FGT thus enables multiple facets of episodic figural long-term memory to be measured. The test is used in clinical neuropsychology.
S1: Standard form S11: Short form A S12: Short form B
The FGT consists of several parts. The first part comprises five learning and reproduction runs in which either 9 (S11 and S12) or 12 (S1) figures are presented repeatedly. These figures always consist of a square area in which one or more lines have been drawn. Immediately afterward, respondents must reproduce as many of the displayed figures as they can. The second part of the test follows after a short break (5 min.). This part calls for free reproduction of the figures without any further presentation. The third part of the test is administered after a 30-minute break; this involves free reproduction after a long delay and forced-choice recognition of the figures.
