392206 Project: Tablet-Based Implemtation and Evalation of the Corsi Block-Tapping Task (Pj) (WiSe 2025/2026)

The Corsi Block-Tapping Task (CBTT) [1] isa established psychological test used to measure the visuospatial working memory. The task involves a set of blocks arranged in a fixed layout. During the task, the experimenter taps a sequenceof blocks, which the participant must reproduce in the same or re-versed order. Previous research has indicated that variations in task modality (e.g., physical board vs. digital interfaces) can influence participant performance [2]. The aim of this project is to design a tablet-based version of the CBTT, suitable for use in empirical studies, and evaluate it against a physical version of the task. Two digital versions will be developed: Automated Mode - The blocks light up on the screen in a predefined order, which participants must replicate by tapping on the tablet. Experimenter-Guided Mode – The experimenter presents the sequence by tapping on the tablet, which participants must replicate by tapping on the tablet.
