Corsi block-tapping task. The Corsi block-tapping task evaluates spatial working memory. Participants were asked to repeat the pointing pattern of the examiner to a series of blocks‚ that were arranged in an irregular order on a board based on the original standard display developed by Corsi (1972). First participants were asked to repeat the exact same tapping pattern as the examiner (forwards). In the second part of this task participants were asked to reverse the pattern given by the examiner
