Auditory Short-Term Memory and Digit Span: Normal versus Poor Readers.

Payne, M. Carr, Jr.; Holzman, Thomas G.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v75 n3 p424-30 Jun 1983

The relationships between reading comprehension level, digit span, and short-term memory for Morse code-like temporal patterns were investigated. College students performed better when the first pattern was auditory. No relationship for college or fifth-grade students was found between digit span and accuracy in comparing patterns of tones.
