Figure copying and executive attention in preschoolers The present research considers how executive attention is organised in preschool children when they are asked to copy a complex geometrical figure, and then to reproduce it from memory. We used the version B of the ROCF (Rey, 1959), which includes eleven elements (circle, cross, etc.) with inclusions and intersections between elements. A first paper (Lefèvre et al., 2007) analysed the performances. Here we consider how looks are organised, as video recordings made it possible to distinguish between looks to the model, to the copy, to the experimenter and somewhere else. Two features of visual activity are thus detected. First all children, even the youngest, focus their attention on the task. Second looks change every few seconds, even during graphomotor activity. Performances may be scribbles, isolated elements, tangent elements and intersecting elements, and correspondences between performance and attention are then explored. The discussion suggests that such an approach makes it possible to use the ROCF to assess executive attention.
