Use sheet 3.0 (training) from the stimulus book
“I will give you a sheet with drawings made from blue, red, black, yellow, white, or green rings. I will always show the rings on this
side (point left axis on the board from the child’s perspective) every time I will show you a tower of different colors and you must
reconstruct it, moving rings from one side to the other to replicate the drawing. You can only move rings one by one; you can’t
retain them or set them on the table. When you’re finished you must correctly order them on the right axis, as in every sheet I
showed you. Now we will do a rehearsal. Parting from this position (red ring under, yellow ring in the middle, blue on top), you must
pass them to the right axis until you have recreated the initial order. If you want you can use any of the three axes
The trial ends once the child places the rings exactly like in sheet 3.0
The children must do the trial alone, only help him or her if they are doing it wrong or have a doubt. Once he or she has done it
correctly the test will begin.
“Now you will be doing each tower on your own. Work as fast as you can, you may do all the movements you need, but remember
you must try to do it with the least amount of movements as possible moving the rings one by one. You can use the 3 axes to build
the tower, but at the end it must be on the right side (point it in the sheet). Place your hands on your knees and don’t start until I
instruct you to. When you’re finished with a tower place your hands on your knees again and wait until I signal you to start another
tower. Start now!”
Apply all the trials in the order listed. Every time you begin a new trial you must say:
“We’ll do another”
Start the chronometer once the child starts manipulating the rings and stop when the model is correctly assembled.
