The assessment of cognitive spatial and constructional ability is an important clinical tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of brain disease or injury. It is also indispensable in scientific study of cognitive brain function. Techniques for assessment include asking patients or participants to perform purely cognitive tasks such as mental rotation, as well as constructional tasks involving arrangement of blocks and puzzle pieces into a target configuration. These constructional tasks have the advantage of probing not only pure spatial ability, but also the ability to perceive, plan, and act in the world. Studies suggest that assessment with three-dimensional (3D) forms of these tasks may be most demanding and sensitive. However, use of 3D tasks in assessment has been limited by their inherent complexity, which requires considerable examiner training, effort and time if scoring is to consistent and reliable.To overcome the limitations of existing 3D spatial cognitive assessments, we designed an automated tool for examination of 3D spatial cognitive ability. As a prototype of this user interface, we implemented by use of ActiveCube. In the evaluation, users attempt to construct a target 3D shape, while each change of shape they make is automatically recorded and scored for assessment. In order to evaluate this prototype system, we conducted several experiments. As a result, it is enough sensitive to distinguish subjects' cognitive and constructional abilities. Moreover, we have acquired knowledge to improve our prototype system. As a result of the comparisons between pre-experiment and post-experiment scores of mental rotation tests, our prototype user interface could improve users' 3-D spatial cognitive ability.

认知空间和建构能力的评估是诊断和监测脑病或损伤的重要临床工具。在认知脑功能的科学研究中，它也是必不可少的。评估技术包括要求患者或参与者执行纯粹的认知任务，例如精神旋转，以及涉及块和拼图碎片排列为目标配置的构造任务。这些构造任务具有探测纯净的空间能力的优势，而且还具有在世界上感知，计划和行动的能力。研究表明，这些任务的三维（3D）形式的评估可能是最苛刻和敏感的。但是，在评估中使用3D任务受到其固有的复杂性的限制，如果评分是一致且可靠的，则需要大量的检查员培训，精力和时间。要克服现有的3D空间认知评估的局限性，我们设计了一种自动化工具，用于检查3D空间认知能力。作为此用户界面的原型，我们通过使用ActiveCube实现了。在评估中，用户尝试构建目标3D形状，而他们所做的每种形状的变化都会自动记录并评估以进行评估。为了评估该原型系统，我们进行了几个实验。结果，它足以区分受试者的认知和建构能力。此外，我们已经获得了知识来改善我们的原型系统。由于体验前和实验后的精神旋转测试比较，我们的原型用户界面可以提高用户的3-D空间认知能力。
