Age differences were also investigated, demonstrating larger span impairment in older children with SLD than in younger. The total Digit Span raw score, which is based on the sum of the Digits Forward and Digits Backward raw scores (i.e.

This pattern was similar for different SLD profiles with clinical diagnoses of dyslexia and mixed disorder, but the impairments were more severe in the latter. The digit span subtest requires you to recite a series of single digits (numbers) (not words) read to you approximately one second apart. Despite a GAI within normal range, children with SLD had difficulty with both digit span tasks, but more so for forward span. The correlation of the two spans with a General Ability Index (GAI) was similar in SLD, and smaller in magnitude than in typically developing children. Our results further support the hypothesis that the intellectual difficulties of children with SLD involve working memory in the forward digit span task to a greater extent than in the backward digit span task. WISC®-V Score Report ID: 10082014, Case RD Sample FOR TRAINING ONLY PRIMARY SUMMARY (CONTINUED). 0000005185 00000 n Results are discussed in terms of Canadian and American educational and test-taking experiences. This study examined performance in the forward and backward digit span task of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Fourth Edition (WISC–IV) in a large group of children with specific learning disorder (SLD) as compared with a group of typically developing children matched for age and sex.
