In the Digit span task, both groups performed worse in backward recall. I was also only able to get to that 10-11 backward digit count on memory after practicing 10-15 times with me begging friends to give me digits for me to recite, so idk if practice effect does anything for it. In two studies the NLD group showed significantly lower scores in the backward than in the forward CST. I feel like you shouldn’t even have to be told to chunk, you should just know that it is a good strategy intuitively, so if you didn’t chunk, that may say more about you than the digit span test itself, but then again, maybe not.Īlso, I read a study that showed people score higher on visual digit span than auditory. Idk why anyone would ever take the test and not chunk. Healthcare providers and researchers use the Digit Span task to measure. Digit Span traditionally has been comprised of two parts on the WISC: Digit Span Forward and Digit Span Backward. With chunking, I can do 10 backwards and 11 on a good day. Brain tasks like Digit Span have been played over 12 million times by 85000+ people. So if you chunk a 10-11 span digit, then if you compare that with the norm set and the test was normed on people who chunked and did not chunk, or just didn’t chunk, then maybe that percentile is not the most accurate representation. Another girl asked me the same thing.Īlso, I read in a study a little while back that chunking on average increases your digit span by 2 points, but that if your “real” digit span is 6 and you chunk it can go to 8, but never 9 or 10. I do recall though an interviewer questioning me during a job interview asking if I have a photographic memory because of the way I recite stuff, but from what I understand photographic memory is a hoax. I scored 19/20 on the GIQ digit span and feel like that just can’t be true, since that percentile is just so high.
