Preferred term

self-ordered pointing test  

Definition

  • Working memory task (Petrides & Milner, 1982). "The task takes the form of a set of pictures of familiar objects or abstract designs, arranged in a grid. These are presented in a different spatial arrangement on each trial and the participant is required to point to a different picture every time. The test requires executive abilities in order to organise and carry out a sequence of responses as well as to retain and constantly monitor the responses made." (Cragg et Nation, 2007, p. 526).
