20 min sample of tests from Cambridge brain sciences site: spatial span, double trouble, object reasoning, rotations, hampshire tree task, spatial slider.

I observed a significant training effect when I did these. Could be a problem with other tests too.

The way to handle this is probably to do the tests for a while, plotting the results, wait until they appear to be flatlining, then start the experiment.
