and say, "I want you to take these two pieces (touching the two triangles) and put them together so they will look exactly like this" (pointing to rectangle). If S. hesitates, repeat instructions with a little urging. If first attempt is a failure, replace pieces, saying, "No; put them together so they will look like this" (pointing to rectangle). Do not suggest further by face or word whether response is correct. If a piece is turned over, turn it back and don't count that trial. Give, if necessary, three trials of one minute each.
Credit if two of the three trials are successful.
6. Three Commissions
Take S. to center of room. Say, "Now, I want you to do something for me. Here's a key. I want you to put it on that chair over there; then I want you to shut (or open) that door, and then bring me the box which you see over there" (pointing in turn to the objects designated). "Do you understand? Be sure to get it right. First, put the key on the chair, then shut (or open) the door, then bring me the box (again pointing). Go ahead." Stress words first and then. Give no further aid.
Credit if the three commissions are executed in proper order.
Alt. Giving Age
Say, "How old are you?"
