We devised a \"Simplified\" version of the TCFT designed to assess older adults with low educational background and provide preliminary evidence of its psychometric properties. Methods : We evaluated a heterogeneous sample of healthy older adults and patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease dementia using the simplified TCFT and other neuropsychological measures. Results : Our results suggest that the test copy, immediate and delayed recall have high inter-rater agreement and internal consistency, significant correlations with other tests of visuospatial abilities, memory and intelligence, and also detected significant group differences between controls and patients. Conclusion : Our study presents a new measure for assessing low-educated elderly with promising evidence of validity and reliability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1980-57642016dn10100010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,2]],"date-time":"2016-04-02T21:52:26Z","timestamp":1459633946000},"page":"52-57","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Validity and reliability of a \"simplified\" version of the Taylor Complex Figure Test for the assessment of older adults with low formal education"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Jonas Jardim de","family":"Paula","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil; Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias M\u00e9dicas de Minas Gerais, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M\u00f4nica Vieira","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giovanna de Freitas de","family":"Andrade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rafaela Teixeira","family":"\u00c1vila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leandro Fernandes","family":"Malloy-Diniz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil; Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil; Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"The Cambridge Handbook of Visuospatial Thinking (1Ed)","author":"Shah P","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"287","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.psych.57.102904.190024","article-title":"Neuropsychological assessment of dementia","volume":"60","author":"Salmon DP","year":"2009","journal-title":"Annu Rev Psychol"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1159","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.39.9.1159","article-title":"The Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's disease (CERAD).
