Preferred term

Corsi task

Corsi's test (1972) is an example of a spatial span task. Nine cubes are presented to the subject. The experimenter points to the cubes with increasingly longer sequences (2-8 positions). The subject's task is to immediately reproduce the sequence in the same or reversed order. After two failures in a series of the same level, the test is stopped.
