Measuring Short Term Memory Span By Investigating The Relationship Between Digital And Spatial Span Tasks.
MEASURING SHORT TERM MEMORY SPAN BY INVESTIGATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIGITAL AND SPATIAL SPAN TASKS.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this experiment was to measure short term memory span by looking into the relationship between two span tasks: digital and spatial. The experiment measured digit span and spatial span for each participant by carrying out two trials of each task out at the end of which the participants noted their scores down. The participants task was to recall the sequence of the spatial blocks and digits. After the two tasks were completed the correlation between the two tasks and their scores was calculated and the participants memory span was calculated. The results demonstrated that spatial span and digital span tasks had a moderate correlation.
