Editing Spatial memory (section)

===Pathway span task===
This task is designed to measure spatial memory abilities in children.<ref name = "children" /> The experimenter asks the participant to visualize a blank matrix with a little man. Through a series of directional instructions such as forwards, backwards, left or right, the experimenter guides the participant's little man on a pathway throughout the matrix. At the end, the participant is asked to indicate on a real matrix where the little man that he or she visualized finished. The length of the pathway varies depending on the level of difficulty (1–10) and the matrices themselves may vary in length from 2 x 2 cells to 6 x 6. {{cn|date=March 2025}}
