 As an index of planning efficiency, the error ratio can be calculated. The error ratio can be calculated by summing the number of unique designs and the number of perseverative errors across the five different parts, and then dividing the total number of perseverative errors by the total number of unique designs. The error ratio assesses the degree to which the respondent is able to minimize repetition while maximizing unique productions ((Ruff, R.M. (1996). Ruff Figural Fluency Test: Professional Manual. Lutz (United States): Psychological Assessment Resources, Inc.)). As an index of planning efficiency, the error ratio can be calculated.

 +==== Protocol RFFT on tablet ====
 +During [[3A visit 1]] and [[4A visit 1]], the RFFT was performed with a tablet with a stylus pen.\\
 +Instructions were given by a pre-recorded movie on the tablet.
 +In addition to the outcomes mentioned in the section above, outcomes on strategy and validity were added.
