| description | Individual differences in working memory capacity are related to a variety of behaviors both
within and outside of the lab. Recently developed automated complex span tasks have contributed
to increasing our knowledge concerning working memory capacity by making valid and reliable
assessments freely available for use by researchers. Combining the samples from three testing
locations yielded data from over 6,000 young adult participants who performed at least one of
three such tasks (Operation, Symmetry, and Reading Span). Normative data are presented here for
researchers interested in applying cutoffs for their own applications, and information on the
validity and reliability of the tasks is also reported. In addition, the data were analyzed as
a function of sex and college status. While automated complex span tasks are just one way to
measure working memory capacity, the use of a standardized procedure for administration and
scoring greatly facilitates comparison across studies. |
