A task is a task is a task: putting complex span, n-back, and other working memory indicators in psychometric context
Based on a meta-analysis, Redick and Lindsey (2013) found that complex span and n-back tasks show an average correlation of r = 0.20, and concluded that "complex span and n-back tasks cannot be used interchangeably as working memory measures in research applications" (p. 1102). Here, we comment on this conclusion from a psychometric perspective. In addition to construct variance, performance on...
متن کاملIs the n-back task a valid neuropsychological measure for assessing working memory?
The n-back is a putative working memory task frequently used in neuroimaging research; however, literature addressing n-back use in clinical neuropsychological evaluation is sparse. We examined convergent validity of the n-back with an established measure of working memory, digit span backward. The relationship between n-back performance and scores on measures of processing speed was also exami...
متن کاملMeasuring and modeling distraction by self-referential processing in a complex working memory span task
Two experiments using novel complex working memory span tasks were performed, both requiring the participants to remember a span of letters whilst being distracted by the processing of words. Word processing could either be selfreferential (SRP) or not. In the first experiment recall performance was compared between SRP and non-SRP conditions using the same words. In the second experiment, we c...

جنبه های گوناگونی از زندگی در ایران را از جمله سبک زندگی، علم و امکانات فنی و تکنولوژیکی می توان کم یا بیش وارداتی در نظر گرفت. زبان انگلیسی و روش تدریس آن نیز از این قاعده مثتسنی نیست. با این حال گاهی سوال پیش می آید که آیا یک روش خاص با زیر ساخت های نظری، فرهنگی اجتماعی و آموزشی جامعه ایرانی سازگاری دارد یا خیر. این تحقیق بر اساس روش های ترکیبی انجام شده است.پرسش نامه ای نیز برای زبان آموزان ...
Expanding the mind's workspace: training and transfer effects with a complex working memory span task.
In the present study, a novel working memory (WM) training paradigm was used to test the malleability of WM capacity and to determine the extent to which the benefits of this training could be transferred to other cognitive skills. Training involved verbal and spatial versions of a complex WM span task designed to emphasize simultaneous storage and processing requirements. Participants who comp...
