Fist, slap, slice! Or fist, cut, slap! Fist, cut, slice?!

It can be tricky to recall the order of Luria’s 3-step test for frontal lobe function.

Here’s a business-minded way to remember it.

GIVE MONEY NOW!

Give

Make a fist.

This represents the aggression of forcing someone to give you something.

Money

Make the slicing motion.

This emulates the handshake of a business deal.

Now!

Slap the hand with the palm facing down.

This is like being a demanding gangster and banging on a table to intimidate your enemy.
