How it measures

"The original stimuli were 3-dimensional props used to produce action sequences that the infant or child imitates. For the NIH-TB, the stimuli are pictured objects and activities, thematically related but with no inherent order. For each trial, pictures appear in the center of the computer screen and then are moved 1 at a time into a fixed spatial order, as an audio file simultaneously describes the content of each (e.g., “Plant the tomatoes”), until the entire sequence is displayed on the screen. Then the pictures return to the center of the screen in a random display and the participant must move them into the sequence demonstrated." [1]
