Task Structure versus Modality of Presentation: A Study of the Construct Validity of the Visual-Aural Digit Span Test.

Torgesen, Joseph K.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n4 p451-56 Aug 1978

Fourth-grade good and poor readers were given six different digit span tasks in which task structure (simultaneous vs sequential presentation of digits) and modality of presentation (visual vs auditory) were varied. Task structure was more powerful in predicting test performance than was modality of presentation. (Author/BH)
