Clinical utility of reliable digit span in assessing effort in children and adolescents with epilepsy.
The assessment of effort is an important aspect of a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation, as this can significantly impact data interpretation. While recent work has validated the appropriateness of adult-derived cutoffs for standalone effort measures in younger populations, little research has focused on embedded effort measures in children. The present study includes 54 clinically ref...
متن کاملDeveloping a spatial analogue of the reliable digit span.
It is recommended that performance validity be assessed in all neuropsychological cases involving external incentive. The present study sought to develop an embedded performance validity measure based on the Spatial Span task of the Wechsler Memory Scale-III in a sample of litigating persistent postconcussion complainants. The Reliable Spatial Span (RSS) calculation had specificity, sensitivity...
متن کاملListening to Mozart does not enhance backwards digit span performance.
Rauscher, Shaw, and Ky recently reported that exposure to brief periods of music by Mozart produced a temporary increase in performance on tasks taken from the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale-IV. The present study examined whether this effect occurred in performance on a backwards digit span task. In a within-subjects design 36 undergraduates were exposed to 10-min. periods of Mozart music, a...
متن کاملDigit Span components as predictors of attention problems and executive functioning in children.
This study examined the extent to which digits forward (DF) or digits backward (DB) account for variance in parent ratings of attention and executive function in children. The sample (n=90) included children with no diagnosis and children with a range of clinical problems, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Clinical groups differed from the No Diagnosis group on cognitiv...
متن کاملAttentional performance of children with traumatic brain injury: a quantitative and qualitative analysis of digit span.
Previous studies have indicated that digit span performance is not particularly sensitive to the effects of traumatic brain injury (Baddeley & Warrington, 1970; Brooks, 1975; Sterne, 1969). However, clinical lore posits poorer backward vs. forward performance compared to normals due to the greater attentional demands of the backward task. This study examined qualitative aspects of Digit Span pe...
