       The Benton Visual Retention test is a classic and widely used instrument to assess perception, visual memory and visoconstructive abilities.

       Due to its proven usefulness in evidencing difficulties in the perception of spatial relationships and in the memory of newly learned visual stimuli, it is used in the clinical diagnosis of brain damage in both children and adults.

       Its application and correction is very simple. The test consists of ten sheets containing a set of visual stimuli of increasing difficulty that the subject must reproduce, either from memory, or by copying them.

       There are three parallel forms (C, D and E) and four possible modes of application. The interpretation of the test is based on an evaluation of the number of correct reproductions and the type of errors made, which allows a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the results.
