A Comparative Study of Audito-Vocal Digit Spans
نویسنده
چکیده
The digit span test was employed in the original Binet-Simon2 tests and has since been employed in the different revisions of the Binet by somewhat shifting the age norms. The Binet tests use the forward and backward reproduction of digits. Humpstone3 employed the group test method necessitating the immediate written reproduction of a series of digits presented at the rate of about 6 digits per 5 seconds at an even rate of speed. Standards were worked out for children ranging in age from 6 to 18 and for college men and women.

The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of correlation, if any, between the reverse audito-vocal digit memory span and the following: (1) General intelligence, (2) Vocabulary, (3) Interpretation of fables, (4) Chronological age. The Intelligence Quotient obtained by means of the Stanford Revision of the Binet-Simon Tests was used as a measure of general intelligence. The reverse au...

menter. He had faith in the possibility of maintaining the constancy of conditions requisite for investigation of the higher thought processes, and to express the results numerically. Subsequently, he worked with children, and his findings indicate that the number of digits an individual can correctly recall increases with age. Smedley (3) reported in 1889 that among school children, memory spa...

This study assessed the effects of stimulus misidentification and memory processing errors on immediate memory span in 25 normal-hearing adults exposed to degraded auditory input simulating signals provided by a cochlear implant. The identification accuracy of degraded digits in isolation was measured before digit span testing. Forward and backward digit spans were shorter when digits were degr...
