The Corsi Block-Tapping Task: Standardization and Normative Data
Abstract
This article describes a standardized administration and scoring procedure for the widely used Corsi Block-Tapping Task, designed to assess the visual memory span. This method was applied in a group of healthy participants (n = 70) and a group of patients with cerebral lesions (n = 70), that were categorized on the basis of lesion location (left or right hemisphere, bilateral or subcortical). The percentile distribution as well as cutoff points on the basis of the control data are provided. It was found that 20% of the patients perform in the borderline range on this task, and over 8% have an impaired performance ("retarded"). In addition, right hemisphere patients performed worse than left hemisphere patients. These data show that the Corsi Block-Tapping Task can be effectively used to assess visuospatial short-term memory in patients with brain damage, and is selective for the side of the lesion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
