The Corsi block-tapping task is a widely used test to assess visuo-spatial working memory. The test is traditionally administered using nine square blocks positioned on a wooden board, but numerous digital versions have been developed. In this study, we tested one-hundred and seven participants divided into two age groups (18-30 and over 50) in forward, backward and supraspan-forward conditions...

The Corsi block-tapping test was developed as a non-verbal task to measure spatial memory. In this test, cubes are tapped by the examiner in novel sequences of increasing length after which participants are required to reproduce each sequence immediately. Objectives To evaluate spatial working memory in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Methods 30 elderly control subjects (21 women, 9 men)...

Impairments in working memory are suggested to be one of the defining characteristics of dyslexia and deficits in verbal recall are well documented.
