Education affected scores in most of the attention tests age was found to be related to the visuospatial span and to speed of visuomotor tracking, and there was no relationship as regards sex. Age and education adjusted scores are provided by applying linear regressions. Tables to convert raw scores to scaled scores are provided. The sample consisted of 179 participants from 18 to 49 years old, who were cognitively normal. In the present study, as part of the Spanish normative studies of NEURONORMA young adults Project, normative data adjusted by age and education are provided for digits, Corsi Block-Tapping Task, Letter-Number Sequencing, Trail Making Test, and Symbol Digit Modalities Test. Verbal and visuospatial span, Letter-Number Sequencing, Trail Making Test, and Symbol Digit Modalities Test are frequently used in clinical practice to assess attention, executive functions and memory. Tamayo, F Casals-Coll, M SÃ¡nchez-Benavides, G Quintana, M Manero, R M Rognoni, T Calvo, L Palomo, R Aranciva, F PeÃ±a-Casanova, J The weak association of Digit Span and the Test of Everyday Attention, along with the finding that Picture Completion was a better predictor of performance on the Test of Everyday Attention, question the clinical utility of using Digit Span as a measure of everyday attention. Picture Completion was a somewhat stronger predictor (accounting for 19% of the unique variance). Analysis indicated that, although Digit Span was a weak but statistically significant predictor of attentional ability (accounting for 12.7% of the unique variance). In addition, the more visually oriented Picture Completion subtest along with the verbally loaded National Adult Reading Test were administered. This study investigated the effectiveness of the WAIS-III Digit Span subtest to predict the everyday attention of 75 participants with heterogeneous neurological conditions who were administered the Digit Span subtest as well as the ecologically valid Test of Everyday Attention.

Results indicated that digit span was strongly correlated with aptitude/achievement scores, but did not indicate that susceptibility to proactive interferenceâ€¦ĭigit Span as a measure of everyday attention: a study of ecological validity. Individual differences in digit span, susceptibility to proactive interference, and various aptitude/achievement test scores were investigated in two experiments with college students. Individual Differences in Digit Span, Susceptibility to Proactive Interference, and Aptitude/Achievement Test Scores.
