| Description | The Design Recall Test (Kagan et al., 1964) is designed to assess analytic performance in children. A geometric design is presented for study, removed for 15 seconds, and then presented along with variants on the original. The subjects must select the design identical to the standard from an array of similar stimuli. Analytic performance is defined by the absence of incorrect guesses, meaning the ability to select the correct answer on the first attempt. |
