Use the Distributions tool that follows to determine the probability of obtaining a mean number of digits successfully repeated greater than the mean of Sample 158. The Z-score corresponding to the mean of Sample 158 is The standard deviation for Sample 158 is Using the distribution of sample means, calculate the z-score corresponding to the mean of Sample 158. The samples are numbered in the first column, and you can use the scroll bar on the right side to scroll to the sample you want.) Use the DataView tool to find the mean and the standard deviation for Sample 158. (Hint: see a particular sample, click the Observations button on the left-hand side of the DataView tool.

(Hint: Use the population mean and/or standard deviation just given to calculate the standard error.) The DataView tool that follows displays a data set consisting of 200 potential samples (each sample has 36 observations). (Hint: Use the population mean and/or standard deviation just given to calculate the expected value of M.) The standard error of Mis. The expected value of the mean of the 36 randomly selected students, M, is. The professor knows that the distribution of scores is normal, but she does not know that the true average number of digits successfully repeated on the digit span task among college students is 7.06 digits with a standard deviation of 1.610 digits. She measures the number of digits successfully repeated for 36 randomly selected students. A professor of cognitive psychology is interested in the number of digits successfully repeated on the digit span task among college students. The participant's score is the longest string of digits she can successfully repeat. For instance, if the participant repeats four digits successfully, she will hear five random digits on the next trial. If the participant is successful, the length of the next string is increased by one. The participant must then repeat the digits in the correct order.
#DIGIT SPAN TEST AVERAGE SCORE TRIAL#
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.On each trial of a digit span memory task, the participant is asked to read aloud a string of random digits. 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. With chunking, I can do 10 backwards and 11 on a good day. 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.
