When you think about it, anything you practice you are reducing the g loading unless it's highly genetic as you say it will be near impossible to improve. But if it is necessary to improve your digit span skill or some other specific memory ability it is possible if it is needed for something since skills are useful sometimes in the real world. What this also means is that digit span isn't a great measure of memory IMO (maybe spatial memory is better). What this really means is that it is pointless to improve digit span or on other memory tests since it will not transfer to complex tasks that require working memory (like fluid intelligence tasks, figure weights.). Brian White has also talked about digit span practice effect, you should read about it, yes working memory can be improved and legitimately improve the specific skills but doesn't transfer to other domains therefore is not an improvement in overall general cognitive ability as it becomes a special memory skill. You won't see crazy practice effect gains with complex reaction time unless you are recovering from depression or have an under stimulated nervous system or some executive function issues but you can't really call that practice effect. 77-.8, tasks that involve working memory speed reaction time is also highly g loaded etc. Tasks like basic reaction time don't have a high g-loading unless you take various trials of reaction time the g loading increases to. Your reaction speed on complex reaction time is highly g-loaded at about. There have been games/tests posted in this sub that show you that basic complex reaction time can be highly g loaded if made hard enough and normed on a population of people who have practiced. Most tests of processing speed don't measure processing speed well (like WAIS). You don't see usually see massive practice effect gains on some processing speed tasks. Practicing these tests means they will not work well in examining your true, *general* working memory abilities. They only serve as an indication of broader working memory abilities.

#DEFINE DIGIT SPAN FOR WAIS SERIAL#

Serial working memory tests are one of the simplest working memory tests we could provide, especially if they are digit span tests since letters can be more easily chunked.

#DEFINE DIGIT SPAN FOR WAIS SERIES#

It may improve the speed of training because a series of items are still presented, but that's besides the point. In sum, improving in specific working memory tasks only improves working memory to a very slight degree since improving, say, serial working memory doesn't exactly improve updating as in the dual n back tests.

#DEFINE DIGIT SPAN FOR WAIS HOW TO#

You may not immediately see how to chunk in a new working memory test and the items you chunk may not be numbers, they may be abstractions, or it may be a test that inhibits chunking.

You could argue that you learned the concept of chunking and can apply this to any working memory test now, but this is an illusion. serial working memory tests), so you're wasting your time. improving your working memory in one particular task will only result in near transfer effects (i.e. that will spoil a result on the WAIS and 2. You can definitely train yourself to increase your digit span, but 1. This post might suggest that you want to know what digit span you should reach to be considered a genius at least in the domain of working memory.
