6. Copying Diamond
Place diamond before S., and give pen, saying, "I want you to draw one exactly like this. Make it right here" (showing space on record blank). Give three trials if necessary, saying each time, "Make it exactly like this one." (Note that pen and ink must be used.)
Credit if two drawings are satisfactory. (See scoring card.)
Alt. 1. Naming Days of Week
Say, "You know the days of the week, do you not? Name the days of the week for me." If response is correct, check by asking, "What day comes before Tuesday?" "Before Thursday?" "Before Friday?"
Credit if correct response is given within 15 seconds, and if two of three checks are correct.
Alt. 2. Three Digits Backwards
Say, "Listen carefully. I am going to read some numbers again but this time I want you to say them backwards. For example, if I should say 5—1—4, you would say 4—1—5. Do you understand?" Then, "Ready, now; listen carefully, and be sure to say the numbers backwards." If S. gives digits forwards, repeat instructions. If necessary, give (b) and (c), repeating, "Ready, now; listen carefully, and be sure to say the numbers backwards." 2, 8, 3; 4, 2, 7; 9, 5, 8.
Credit if one set is repeated backwards without error.
