Corsi block-tapping task

The Corsi block tapping task assesses short-term visuospatial working memory. In the task, participants participants are presented with a sequence of blocks tapped in a specific order, and they must replicate the sequence by tapping the blocks in the same order. The task becomes progressively more challenging with longer sequences, serving as a measure of a person's ability to temporarily store and manipulate visuospatial information in working memory.
