Abstract

This study was performed to identify what demographic factors influence the performance of the Digit Span and Corsi Block test as a known measure for short-term memory or working memory. The participants were 85 normal old person recruited from Seoul, Korea. Age range of the participants was 59~85 years (M=69.9 years), and educational level range was 0~16 years (M=7.99). Age and educational level were highly correlated. But only educational level was associated with digit span performance. On the other hands, Corsi Block test was not associated with both age and educational level. These results suggest that we must consider demographic variables when we constitute test reference.
