The Corsi block-tapping task has enjoyed extensive use in clinical and experimental studies for a quarter of a century and is arguably the single most important nonverbal task in neuropsychological research. Nevertheless, there has been considerable inconsistency not only in the administration and scoring of this measure, but also in the physical properties of the test apparatus. In this paper, we survey a wide range of studies that have made use of the block-tapping task during the past 25 years and provide a detailed appraisal of the manifold methodological variations. Additionally, we discuss the historical context in which the Corsi originated and offer a critical examination of the cognitive processing operations purported to underlie performance on this task.
在临床和实验研究中，科尔西方块敲击任务已被广泛应用了25年，并且可以说是神经心理学研究中最重要的单项非言语任务。然而，不仅在该测量方法的实施和评分方面存在相当大的不一致性，而且在测试仪器的物理特性方面也存在不一致。在本文中，我们调查了过去25年中使用方块敲击任务的大量研究，并对多种方法学差异进行了详细评估。此外，我们讨论了科尔西任务产生的历史背景，并对该任务表现背后据称的认知加工操作进行了批判性审视。
