The SOBC program aims to implement a mechanisms-focused, experimental medicine approach to behavior change research and to develop the tools required to implement such an approach. By integrating work across disciplines, this effort will lead to an improved understanding of the underlying principles of behavior change. The Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) program seeks to promote basic research on the initiation, personalization and maintenance of behavior change. (For proprietary reasons we are unable to upload the Digit Span Backwards scale.) The total raw score for backwards digit span is the sum of the item scores maximum backwards digit span total raw score is 16 points. The item score is the sum of the scores on the two trials for that item (range=0-2). For each trial, 1 point is scored for a correct response or 0 points for an incorrect response or no response.
#DIGIT SPAN TEST AVERAGE SCORE TRIAL#
Both trials of each item are administered, even if the child gets Trial 1 correct. On each question the child repeats the numbers in reverse order of that presented aloud by the examiner (e.g., If the examiner says "5-6", the correct response would be “6-5” If the examiner says "5–1–7–4–2–3–8", the correct response would be "8-3-2-4-7-1-5").
For the purposes of our study, we used backwards only for a total of two trials of eight questions, or 16 total questions. The task consists of two items, forwards and backwards, and each item is composed of two trials of eight questions each. It assesses children’s ability to hold information in short-term memory and manipulate that information to produce some result. I'm 100% sure that these 2 products help improve short term memory.The Digit Span Task (Backwards-Only Child Version) measures working memory. I just want to share my experience and hope it's helpful for someone. I would rather have a normal memory short term memory but a lot of ambition, than have a good memory but zero ambition. In other words, you CANNOT train to beat your limit.ĭespite having a good memory, I am very lazy and have no motivation. When you reach your scores limit, no matter how many times you take the test, you cannot beat your highest score UNLESS you take substances. Trust me, I've taken the test many and I'm sure that: Since my initial score is already high, an increase in 1 score is a huge improvement and it is very hard to achieve that 1 score increase. When I reach 18, I feel like my brain is drained and out of energy, but with those 2 supplements, I did not feel like that. The very first time I took this test, I scored 12~13, 1 year later with different kind of substances, to that day, when I do NOT take anything, I score around 17~18 and cannot get over 18 no matter how hard I try. I have been using Digit span test to evaluate my nootropics. For example, 5 2 3 3 4 1 8 9, I remember 5 2 3 3 (4 items), then I remember 4 1 8 9 (4 items), I do not remember 8 items at once. My only strategy is remembering the pronunciation of 4 numbers, done, then move on to the next 4 numbers and so on.
I did NOT use any easy strategies like "chunking' strategies (example 2 6 7 8 9 7 (6 items) is easier to retain when remembered as 26 78 97 (3 items)) or whatever, I did not use them. So cordyceps is actually not good for me, yet since I cannot figure out which ingredient helps with my memory, hence I will keep using Cordyceps Power CS-4.Īt 10:40, I did the test at and scored 20. I did test the 2 products alone in the past with digit span.
Planetary has another product contains Only Cordyceps Mycelia CS-4 which Impairs my short term memory. Note that this product contains other herbs besides Cordyceps, and only this Cordyceps Power CS-4 improves my short-term memory. I saw Life Extension has a product call Asian Energy which contains Cordyceps and Ginseng, so I tried that combo today.Īt 6:52pm, I ate about 1/5 of the Cheonil Ilhwa Korean Taekuk Honeyed Ginseng root (one of the highest quality ginseng in Korea, the company behind it, ILHWA, is the creator of GS15-4 ginseng extract), and 3 tablets of Cordyceps Power CS-4.
