Tests in order

Participants take the tests in this order, each with its standard settings. Changing, reordering or adjusting a test makes the study a custom study.

1
Matrix Reasoning
AEvidenceMain score: Accuracy
7-10 min
2
Mental Rotation
BEvidenceMain score: Rotation Slope
3-5 min
3
Tower Planning
AEvidenceMain score: Excess Moves
6-9 min
4
Corsi Block-Tapping Test
BEvidenceMain score: Forward Span
5-8 min

Timed tests: participants need a desktop or laptop with a mouse or trackpad. The app checks each participant's device before the first test.

Other orders

Possible orders: 24
In a balanced Latin square: 4

The 4 orders of a balanced Latin square, each test as its number in the list above
Order	1st	2nd	3rd	4th
1	1 Matrix Reasoning	2 Mental Rotation	4 Corsi Block-Tapping Test	3 Tower Planning
2	2 Mental Rotation	3 Tower Planning	1 Matrix Reasoning	4 Corsi Block-Tapping Test
3	3 Tower Planning	4 Corsi Block-Tapping Test	2 Mental Rotation	1 Matrix Reasoning
4	4 Corsi Block-Tapping Test	1 Matrix Reasoning	3 Tower Planning	2 Mental Rotation

A study run in this square can measure each test's position effect and the carryover each test leaves on the next.

Numbers are places in the list above. A study started from this battery gives everyone that order, or rotates it and stays this battery.

Published evidence

A battery takes the grade most of its tests reach. A minus means some tests have a lower grade, and a battery is never more than one letter above its weakest test. The study builder grades every study the same way.

Grade B: every graded test has at least grade B published evidence. 2 tests have grade A evidence and 2 have grade B.

Grade A needs at least 25 test-retest papers and 25 registered clinical studies for each test. Mental Rotation has 20 test-retest papers; Corsi Block-Tapping Test has 20 test-retest papers.

Grade B means at least 8 test-retest papers, and either 5 registered clinical studies or 150 reliability or validity papers.

Grades describe the published research on each task, not this battery or ConductCognition's version of it. Source: ConductCognition test census 0.39.0, counted 31 October 2026 from OpenAlex and ClinicalTrials.gov. See every test's counts or every battery's grade

What it measures

Suited to: Reasoning and spatial cognition research

Research areas: Aging and dementia, child development and education

Example report

Participant report

Example data

Test	Main score	Result	Session quality
Matrix Reasoning	Accuracy	83.3%	Valid
Mental Rotation	Rotation Slope	3.54 ms per degree	Valid
Tower Planning	Excess Moves	4	Valid
Corsi Block-Tapping Test	Forward Span	6	Valid

No test in this battery has a reference group yet, so the report shows raw scores.

In a study, the report lists every score of each test, a percentile where a published norm covers the test and the participant's age, and each session's quality.

Price

Each participant uses one credit, however many tests: $0.99 for academic research or $2.49 for commercial research. Every account starts with 10 free participants, and yearly plans include participants each year. Compare plans
