Text

This is a test of non-verbal, spatial learning and memory from the WMS-IIIUK. The participant watches while the tester touches the top of a number of blocks in a spatial array. The task is to touch the same blocks in the same order. More difficult items involve larger numbers of blocks being touched. The task is repeated with the participant being required to touch the blocks in the reverse order.
