Analysis indicated that, although Digit Span was a weak but statistically significant predictor of attentional ability (accounting for 12.7% of the unique variance). In addition, the more visually oriented Picture Completion subtest along with the verbally loaded National Adult Reading Test were administered. This study investigated the effectiveness of the WAIS-III Digit Span subtest to predict the everyday attention of 75 participants with heterogeneous neurological conditions who were administered the Digit Span subtest as well as the ecologically valid Test of Everyday Attention. Strong specificity and moderate sensitivity were observed, and optimal cutting scores are recommended.ĭigit Span as a measure of everyday attention: a study of ecological validity. Similarly, no differences were found between the Digit Span subtest from the WAIS or Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS).
No significant differences were found between RDS and DS-ACSS. RDS and DS-ACSS effectively discriminated between honest responders and dissimulators, with average weighted effect sizes of 1.34 and 1.08, respectively. Twenty-four studies utilizing the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) Digit Span subtest-either the Reliable Digit Span (RDS) or Age-Corrected Scaled Score (DS-ACSS) variant-for malingering detection were meta-analytically reviewed to evaluate their effectiveness in detecting malingered neurocognitive dysfunction.
