Build digit span, spatial span, n-back, and complex span tasks for working memory research in minutes. Research-grade assessments without coding.
Classic measure of verbal working memory. Recall sequences of digits in forward or backward order.
Measure visuospatial working memory. Recall sequences of spatial locations on a grid.
Continuous performance task. Identify when current item matches N positions back.
Complex span task combining math verification with letter recall. Gold standard for WM capacity.
Present mixed letters and numbers. Recall numbers in ascending order, then letters alphabetically.
Complex span combining symmetry judgments with spatial location recall. Visuospatial WM measure.
Visual builder for all working memory paradigms. No E-Prime or programming.
Built-in adaptive algorithms. Spans adjust based on performance.
Automatic scoring including span, total correct, and partial credit.
Validated paradigms suitable for peer-reviewed publications.
Working memory deficits are a core feature of ADHD. Assess and monitor treatment effects.
Identify WM weaknesses underlying reading, math, and learning difficulties.
Track age-related changes in working memory capacity across the lifespan.
Assess working memory in brain injury, stroke, and neurological conditions.
Working memory is the cognitive system that temporarily holds and manipulates information for complex tasks like reasoning, comprehension, and learning. It is distinct from long-term memory and has limited capacity.
Common working memory tasks include: Digit Span (forward and backward), Spatial Span (Corsi blocks), N-Back, Operation Span, Reading Span, and Symmetry Span. AssessKit supports building all of these paradigms.
Forward span measures basic short-term storage - recall items in presented order. Backward span requires manipulation - recall in reverse order. Backward span is considered a purer measure of working memory as it requires both storage and processing.
Yes. AssessKit supports adaptive testing where difficulty adjusts based on performance. Span tasks automatically increase or decrease length based on accuracy thresholds you define.
Working memory tests are used in research and clinical assessment across the lifespan, including studies of ADHD, learning disabilities, aging, schizophrenia, brain injury, and typical cognitive development.
