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 ! . .
