A timed visual immediate-memory assessment developed and used by W. H. Winch in school children, requiring recall and serial-position scoring of twelve consonants.
Components¶
Claims¶
- Late-afternoon memory work shows relative inefficiency of about 5-6 per cent compared with early-morning work in 13-year-old boys [+W]
- Improvement by practice continues in both morning and afternoon groups, but the morning group improves faster across weeks [+W]
- In one class of 13-year-old boys, memory scores were kept to a steady rank order by repeated practice (successive tests correlating +.87 to +.90) before fatigue testing began [+W]
