In devising ways of communicating with the right hemisphere ,RW Sperry won the 1981 Nobel Prize for medicine , by showing the right hemisphere is " indeed a conscious system in its own right, perceiving, thinking, remembering & reasoning, " —Roger Wolcott Sperry CALTEC

Overview Configuration Analysis OVERVIEW A computerized profiler for determining memory span based on the wechsler adult intelligence scale . Each point scored equates to 1 IQ point . George Miller benchmarked this figure at 7 PLUS OR MINUS 2 . The significance of this figure is it's limiting influence on the Ebbinghaus /Von Restorff learning curves . The official test is run forwards then in reverse then totaled . The average is 14 , analysis will record the results , the average benchmark on this test is 8 forward and 6 reverse . The WAIS itself is totaled out of 130 , 130 being the benchmark for genius , the mean score on the WAIS is 100 . On average the digit span comprises 14 % of the total IQ . The experiment - Can you beat a real IQ test, improve your IQ and score in excess of 20 without cheating , without breaching the integrity of a clinically proven test . CONFIGURATION - RUNNING THE DIGIT SPANA computerized profiler for determining memory span based on the wechsler adult intelligence scale . Each point scored equates to 1 IQ point . George Miller benchmarked this figure at 7 PLUS OR MINUS 2 . The significance of this figure is it's limiting influence on the learning curves .To run the test select Audio only button , tab across to memory span and press start and wait for the random sequence of numbers to begin and end . Data is entered after each sequence with the mouse . Starting with a sequence of 3 this test is totally automated and will continue until the user fails to match the on screen sequence at which point scores are recorded . To complete the test the user must select Reverse and begin again this time entering data in the reverse order , last digit first . The test again will continue until a sequence is entered incorrectly . The results are recorded and totaled . TABBED CONTROL :The Main interface contains a tabbed control where the user can switch between analysis and test .Analysis - results of test calculated at point of failure and a brief instruction panel outlining how to take the test . Span - Contains 9 boxes numbered 1- 9 for entering mouse data and a Button Bar Forward/Reverse - set direction of input Automatic/Manual - toggles switch from continuous to user initiated action Repeat - repeats the sequence TOOLBAR : The toolbar facilitates switching cues on and off Mutli sensory cues Audio Visual Reset Trainer [T] icon set to on and off to display full number sequence in the status bar Interrupt The toolbar functions can be identified by tooltips which can be activated by hovering the mouse over the icons . Settings are displayed in the status bars at the foot of the form . BUTTON BAR : contains three options Audio - Audio only Visual - Visual only Options - Context sensitive Tab Analysis - configuration slider bar for setting interval and start point Tab Test - for numeric/alphabetic STATUS BAR : Where time , settings and feedback on failure are displayed . Run the audio test first forward and backwards without repetition , to determine the unbiased base . Then the visual test forward and backwards . Focus only on the patterns and logical relationships between the numbers . A computerized profiler for determining memory span based on the wechsler adult intelligence scale . Each point scored equates to 1 IQ point . George Miller benchmarked this figure at 7 PLUS OR MINUS 2 . The significance of this figure is it's limiting influence on the learning curves . ANALYSIS :According to George Miller the results for the auditory test should fall within a range of 5 and 9 for each test , 7 is the standardized average . A score of 6 or below is cause for concern suggesting that memory rather than lack of ability or application is a root cause of under achievement .Test Strategy - results of the test are going to be skewed by test taking strategies . Learning the test taking strategy is important as average or above average results may reflect a false overall picture . Rhyme/Rhythm - the subject repeats the numbers internally superimposing a rhythmic musical tonal quality to the sequence . Chunking/Blocking - the subject chunks the numbers into groups of 2 3 or 4 . Increasing the number of sequenced objects that can be held in single context. Patterns - The subject attempts to impose order by looking for patterns or skip patterns within the sequence . Examples : ordinal , repeated numbers , hierarchical ascent/decent , step alternating +/- , squares multiples and divisions , prime numbers . Association - The subject looks to associate numbers with times , dates , objects , ages . Visual Strategies - Subject looks for visual patterns in the shapes of numbers composed of straight lines , straight lines and curves and just straight lines to strengthen visualization of the sequence . Sub modalities such as use of color may be used to enhance the mental image . Note - right handed right eye , subject should look up and to the right while listening and up and to the left when recalling each sequence . VERBAL MNEMONICS - Chain link phonetic key words together [auditory] , through improvisation combining objects into a narrative on the fly . VISUAL MNEMONICS - If the digit span is run to or beyond 10 for either test then a mnemonic cipher is called for .This technique is favored by competitors in the world memory championships to count into decks of cards at speed . E-mail us for details . Small variations at the upper ends of the scales are significant , a difference which is not reflected in the IQ scales , but is , if the results are calculated as a factorial . The product of all the integers , up to and including a given integer . To work out the factorial take the base total * [total + 1] / 2 14 = 105 15 = 120 16 = 136 17 = 153 Priming with the Digit Span The digit span norm is 14 ,.A sequence of 7 forward : 7 in Reverse. The ceiling for this test is 30 . Each point is worth 1 IQ point . With the IQ Builder configured with a numeric character set you can increase your pattern recognition , your concentration and your speed of thought .Improve your performance in standard psychometric tests through practice and the application of core-learning strategies. Apply the Gregory Bateson cybernetic system approach , apply each strategy in isolation at the end of each week run the test from scratch and look to free associate . Configured with a phonetic character set you can use the DS as a Brain/Game Trainer [Dr Kawishima] , Download the Einstein Gene and build core phonetic skills, visualization skills , powers of concentration as you hit the ceiling of 30 on the digit span . Each point you improve over the average of 14 [the aggregate of forward and reverse] equates to one IQ point on the WAISIQ test. In an auditory thinking style, monitoring and evaluation of written text is carried out constantly , through key word or concept identification . Typically the reader will continually poll working memory , asking after each sentence or paragraph what is the message here , can the message be reduced to an essence and what one word or phrase sums this message up [key word]. Gradually a cognitive model of sequentially ordered key words is constructed . The success of this strategy is dependent on the Length of span Span duration Directionality of span For this learning strategy to be effective a model has to exist for long enough for the subject to reflect on the elements that make up the whole , without regard to directionality . When Auditory thinking style conflict with preferred visual thinking style . the subject reviews the model at such a high level that all the detail is missing . This theory predicates that after a short period of time the auditory model will be cleared from short term memory , the only trace remains in visual memory . A page of unstructured text without headings , sub headings or bullet points will provide no access to the hidden stored file . In this example the subject may after gentle cajoling abandon attempts to recall the auditory model and attempt to call up visual long term memory , the key to unlocking this memory may be structural , in this case the three bold bullet points may afford access . In this case the 3 bullet points are not central to the gestalt meaning although for the literal minded structurally they are central. The real key to mapping and retrieving this information is 3 pages back , no more than 5 maximum 10 minutes ago , the 3 bullet points , top of page one ! . .
