* To aid the examiner, it is well to have the color of the bottom (with black circle where indicated) together with a number indicating the order in which the block will be picked up. This order is indicated in the first column of Table 2. This information can be marked on a small white label and pasted on the edge of the block away from the subject.

If the subject makes an error, say “Stop: what block do you pick up after—?” (naming the color on the bottom); or “What block do you pick up after— with a black ring?“
