In essence, patients are shown cards with different stimuli: patients are instructed to inspect the card and name the stimuli (to ensure encoding) In order to do this, the subject has to hold the first time in their working memory to match it to the second stim: self-ordered pointing task, subject is given an array of 8 images. They then have to match the same images (but of different orientation) on cards such that they have pointed to each image only once.
