The Estimation Test EST- III is based on the Biber Cognitive Estimation Test (Goldstein et al., 1996). The first part consists of indicating which of the objects on the screen is farther away from the user. The second part consists of indicating which of the objects is farther away from a pink ball, also located on the screen. The third part consists of indicating which two objects are at the same distance from the pink ball. The fourth part consists of indicating which object is not at the same distance from the pink ball. Finally, the fifth part is to indicate which of the images has the objects spatially arranged differently from the model.

- Evaluated cognitive abilities:Estimation.
- Time allowed:Between approximately 1 and 8 minutes.
- Areas of application:Educational Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Neuropsychology, General Medicine and Research.
- Format:Online Computerized Test (PCs, cell phones, tablets).
- Objective:Estimate the distance between stimuli.
- Instructions:In the first part of the task the user will have to indicate which stimulus is farther away. In the second part, which stimulus is farther away from the reference point. In the third part, which two stimuli are at the same distance from the reference point. In the fourth, which stimulus is not at the same distance from the reference point. In the fifth, which set of stimuli is arranged differently from the model.
