Administration of each test requires approximately 5 minutes. This test assesses attention, short-term memory.
The test will be over upon 2 misses in a row on the recall stage.
During the listening stage the iPad will read out a series of numbers, which the user will remember. Both tests consist of seven pairs of random number sequences that the examiner reads aloud at the rate of one per second. Similarly to the Forward Digit Span, the Backward Digit Span consists of 2 stages, the listening stage, and the recall stage. It is comprised of two different tests: Digits Forward Test and Digits Backward Test. administered a standard digit span test as part of a battery of cognitive tests. Working memory deficits associated with schizophrenia appear to be generalized and not limited to the spatial modality. The Digit Span Test (DST) is primarily a measure of auditory attention. ren, Chinese and American, under forward, backward and grouped condi. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that the forward and backward digit span tasks tap different cognitive abilities that are differentially associated with the diathesis for schizophrenia. To make it more interesting (and difficult), gradually increase the Span, which starts out at 5, and change to Fast test speed. Remember the sequence of objects shown in the grid below, and then duplicate this sequence. The WISC-R is one of the best normed and most highly respected measures of child intelligence (although it should be noted that the Digit Span. Test for spatial and visual memory, based on the Corsi Block Test. two different tests, Digits Forward and Digits Backward, each of which. Schizophrenia patients showed impairment on both the forward and backward digit span tasks. The Memory for Digit Span assessment, a component of the Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children-Revised (WISC-R), is a measure of short-term memory for children aged seven and over (Wechsler 1974). Digit Span The Digit Span test in the Wechsler batteries ( the intelligence and. RESULTS: The nonpsychotic relatives showed no impairment on the forward digit span task, a measure of general attention, but did show impairment on the backward digit span task, a measure of verbal working memory.

METHOD: The Wechsler Digit Span Task was used to investigate verbal working memory in 52 schizophrenia patients, 56 of their first-degree relatives, and 73 nonpsychiatric comparison subjects. Few studies have evaluated verbal working memory in the first-degree relatives of schizophrenia patients, who likely share the genetic diathesis for schizophrenia but not the potential confounds associated with chronic mental illness. to the Digit span forward and backward subtests of the Wechsler tests (Wechsler, 1987, 1997) in which series of digits have to be repeated in the original. OBJECTIVE: The evidence for verbal working memory deficits in schizophrenia has been inconsistent.
