The Corsi Block-Tapping Test: Evaluating methodological practices with an eye towards modern digital frameworks

Spatial memory is the part of memory that allows us to remember where things are in the environment. It is critical to everyday function and interaction. A number of tests have been developed for measuring spatial memory. One of the most commonly used tests is the Corsi Block-Tapping Test (CBT). The...

description Spatial memory is the part of memory that allows us to remember where things are in the environment. It is critical to everyday function and interaction.
