Note that this product contains other herbs besides Cordyceps, and only this Cordyceps Power CS-4 improves my short-term memory. Planetary has another product contains Only Cordyceps Mycelia CS-4 which Impairs my short term memory. I did test the 2 products alone in the past with digit span. So cordyceps is actually not good for me, yet since I cannot figure out which ingredient helps with my memory, hence I will keep using Cordyceps Power CS-4.Īt 10:40, I did the test at and scored 20. I did NOT use any easy strategies like "chunking' strategies (example 2 6 7 8 9 7 (6 items) is easier to retain when remembered as 26 78 97 (3 items)) or whatever, I did not use them. My only strategy is remembering the pronunciation of 4 numbers, done, then move on to the next 4 numbers and so on. View Lab Report - digit span lab report from PSYC 1200 at Fordham University. For example, 5 2 3 3 4 1 8 9, I remember 5 2 3 3 (4 items), then I remember 4 1 8 9 (4 items), I do not remember 8 items at once. I have been using Digit span test to evaluate my nootropics. The very first time I took this test, I scored 12~13, 1 year later with different kind of substances, to that day, when I do NOT take anything, I score around 17~18 and cannot get over 18 no matter how hard I try. When I reach 18, I feel like my brain is drained and out of energy, but with those 2 supplements, I did not feel like that. Since my initial score is already high, an increase in 1 score is a huge improvement and it is very hard to achieve that 1 score increase. Trust me, I've taken the test many and I'm sure that: The digit span test allows us to better understand the effectiveness of working memory. Sometimes working memory is also called short-term memory since it. When you reach your scores limit, no matter how many times you take the test, you cannot beat your highest score UNLESS you take substances. In other words, you CANNOT train to beat your limit.ĭespite having a good memory, I am very lazy and have no motivation. As backward digit span was one of the main areas in which the Superior 68 SCHOFIELD AND ASHMAN TABLE 5 Correlations among Digit Span, Processing, and IQ for the Superior Group (n75), Above Average Group (n 146), and Below Average Group (n 102). I would rather have a normal memory short term memory but a lot of ambition, than have a good memory but zero ambition. I just want to share my experience and hope it's helpful for someone. I'm 100% sure that these 2 products help improve short term memory.Digit span testing is a measure of memory span which is the number of items, usually words or numbers, that a person can retain and recall. Where numbers are used it is also known as digit span, and the test is called digit repetition. It can be seen as a measure of working memory (or short-term memory, depending on the psychological framework used), although other factors such as attention and comprehension also contribute to the performance on this test. In a typical test of memory span, a list of random numbers is read out at about the rate of one per second. The test begins with two to three numbers, increasing until the person commits errors. Recognisable patterns (for example 2, 4, 6, 8) should be avoided. At the end of a sequence, the person being tested is asked to recall the items in order.
DIGIT SPAN TEST AVERAGE SCORE PLUS
The average digit span for normal adults without error is seven plus or minus two.
