The Assessment of Visuospatial Abilities with Tangible Interfaces and Machine Learning

Visuospatial abilities are framed in the capacity of perceiving, acting and reasoning in function of spatial coordinates, permitting to identify visual and spatial relationships among objects. They represent the set of skills conferring individuals the ability to interact with the surrounding world. Whenever spatial cognition is impaired it is important to correctly assess visuospatial abilities. Scientific literature, for this purpose, reports many diagnostic tools that have been adopted by clinicians and neuropsychologists.
