Backward Digit Span Task
The backward digit span task is a highly structured laboratory procedure used as a behavioral measure of working memory capacity. In this task, a researcher reads a sequence of digits to a participant, who must then repeat the sequence in reverse order. The length of the longest correctly recalled sequence serves as the operational definition of their working memory capacity.
