This article describes the instruments and experimental tasks used in exploratory tests carried out by the PACTE Group.

A general overview of the characteristics of the research project is given, followed by a description of the aims and objectives of the exploratory tests, the experimental tasks and the instruments used. Some conclusions resulting from these tests are presented.
