This task requires fine motor skills (using a pencil) but does not require expressive language. Keeping this in view, what does coding measure on the WAIS IV?Ĭoding measures visual processing speed, short-term visual memory, and the ability to shift the eyes efficiently back and forth between the “key” and the responses. span and backward digit span in dyslexia group compared to SLI + dyslexia group. Backward span is an executive task particularly dependent on working memory. showed the same degree of severity in under average phonological memory. Forward span captures attention efficiency and capacity. Despite the average level of intrusion during active suppression usually being. What is Digit Span sequencing? Digit Span Subjects are read a sequence of numbers and asked to repeat the same sequence back to the examiner in order (forward span) or in reverse order (backward span). Hierarchical regression showed only age and backward digit span (WMC). The present study explored the dimensionality of the Wechsler Memory Scale-III Digit Span (forward and backward. Some published research suggests that Digit Span forward should be interpreted differently from Digit Span backward. A visuo-spatial analogue is the 'Corsi Block-tapping test'. The Digit Span subtest from the Wechsler Scales is used to measure Freedom from Distractibility or Working Memory. Random sequences of numbers are read aloud and have to be reproduced by the subject in forward or backward order. Similarly one may ask, what does the digit span subtest measure?Ī common test for measuring attentional capacity is ' Digit span,' a subtest of the 'Wechsler Intelligence Scale'. 15), Digit Span Forward is described as a test involving “attention, encoding and auditory processing,” while the term WM is reserved for the Back- ward and Sequencing tasks as well as the Letter-Number Sequencing subtest.
