The Corsi Blocks Task: Variations and coding with jsPsych

Abstract

The Corsi Blocks Task is a widely used task in both clinical and experimental work. However, many versions exist, and it can be difficult to, firstly, choose between the variations of each parameter and, secondly, to program it in a computer software. No article has yet been published on the different versions of the computerized Corsi Blocks Task. Herein, we summarize possible variations of this task. We also provide an implementation of the task using jsPsych.
