15 Reading Span Measure Description

This is a 9-set measure of reading span working memory. Participants attempt to remember 4 numbers (3 sets), 5 numbers (3 sets), and 6 numbers (3 sets), seen one at a time for 1 second each, between reading sentences and determining whether they are sensible or nonsense. At the end of each set, participants are instructed to write the numbers they remember, in order, and write “X” for letters they do not remember.
