The Digit Span Test is a measure of short-term memory capacity. You will be shown a sequence of numbers, one at a time. Your task is to memorize the numbers and repeat them back in the exact order once the sequence is complete.
In one round of the test, you will go through 12 different sequences of numbers. The digit length will be randomized for each sequence. In total 4 will be 5 digits long, 4 will be 6 digits long, and 4 will be 7 digits long.
You will complete 5 rounds of the test, and each round will be conducted under different audio conditions.
