I would love any thoughts on these sources and their applicability! AnnaCat2 ( talk) 03:47, 11 September 2016 (UTC) This information would, I think, be a neat addition to the Intrinsic Factors section, as it expands the scope that these factors can encompass. The results show that verbal memory span is improved, while visual memory span is not significantly better between those who were musically trained and those who were not. The third article: This article looks at the impact that the practice of music has on the verbal and visual memory spans. This could add well to the section on distraction as an extrinsic factor, as well as the main section on Interference (which is missing a citation). Additionally, they highlight the impact this might have in comparing child and adult scores. They go on to find support for this claim saying that less interference improved greatly the participant's prose recall ability. The second article addresses the impact of interference on working memory span. They highlight differences between working memory span and short term memory, the linear relationship of memory span that increases with age, and then discuss what this means. First, addressing the section of Age under extrinsic factors, this article uses a meta-analysis of data to consider how verbal memory span works across multiple age groups. Currently, I am in the process of finding sources and wanted to post them here first to see if there are any other opinions on them. I am working on editing/ refining the "Factors" section of this article. Jenn.reed ( talk) 16:08, 3 September 2016 (UTC) Reply I feel that this article needs to be both added to, supported more, and rewritten so as to avoid plagiarism. Additionally, almost the entire section on digit span is copied word-for-word from the few cited sources (namely References 4 and 5). There are few citations in the article, with some long paragraphs having only one or zero citations. I am also concerned about plagiarism in the article. However, no other theories about digit span are discussed in the article, and no critiques of the phonological loop are mentioned, thus the theory presents as though it is fact. For example, in the Digit Span section, the theory of phonological loop is discussed, and it is introduced with the phrase, "According to one influential cognitive theory." This introduction suggests that the scientific community is not in agreement about phonological loops and their affect on memory span, and that their may be alternate theories that have been suggested. As far as bias goes, I am concerned that some theories are being overrepresented.

Additionally, it may be worth switching the order of the "Factors" section and the "Digit Span" section for the sake of clarity and ease of navigation since 'Extrinsic factors' and 'Intrinsic factors' are both currently listed improperly under "Digit Span". Additionally, looking under the section "Digit span", the sentence "For example, it is difficult to understand a whole sentence without remembering the words at the beginning long enough to connect them with the words at the end" is un-cited and seems to be written in a very casual manner suggesting it may be something considered 'common sense,' but this can be dangerous as most everything else in this article is presented as research backed facts. Noting especially the section under "Intrinsic factors: Permanent Pathological Conditions" and "Extrinsic factors" 2, 3, and 6. Accuracy of iconic memory d.This article makes a number of claims that are not backed up with cited research and probably should be. Efficiency of attention, also known as freedom from distractibility. What does Digit Forwards actually measure? a. In Digit Backward, the test taker is asked to repeat the numbers they hear in a backwards order. In Digit Forward, the test taker must repeat the numbers in the same forward order they heard them. In Digit Backward, the test taker sees the numbers written backwards. In Digit Forward, the test taker sees the numbers presented, written forwards. In Digit Backward, the test taker must write down the numbers they hear in a backwards order. In Digit Forward, the test taker must write down the numbers they hear in the same forward order they heard them. These are just two variations of a task, designed to measure the same neuropsychological construct. What is the difference between the ‘Digit Forward' and 'Digit Backward' versions of the digit span tests? a.
