Additionally, they highlight the impact this might have in comparing child and adult scores. They go on to find support for this claim saying that less interference improved greatly the participant's prose recall ability. The second article addresses the impact of interference on working memory span. They highlight differences between working memory span and short term memory, the linear relationship of memory span that increases with age, and then discuss what this means. First, addressing the section of Age under extrinsic factors, this article uses a meta-analysis of data to consider how verbal memory span works across multiple age groups. Currently, I am in the process of finding sources and wanted to post them here first to see if there are any other opinions on them. I am working on editing/ refining the "Factors" section of this article. Jenn.reed ( talk) 16:08, 3 September 2016 (UTC) Reply I feel that this article needs to be both added to, supported more, and rewritten so as to avoid plagiarism. Additionally, almost the entire section on digit span is copied word-for-word from the few cited sources (namely References 4 and 5). There are few citations in the article, with some long paragraphs having only one or zero citations. I am also concerned about plagiarism in the article. However, no other theories about digit span are discussed in the article, and no critiques of the phonological loop are mentioned, thus the theory presents as though it is fact. For example, in the Digit Span section, the theory of phonological loop is discussed, and it is introduced with the phrase, "According to one influential cognitive theory." This introduction suggests that the scientific community is not in agreement about phonological loops and their affect on memory span, and that their may be alternate theories that have been suggested. As far as bias goes, I am concerned that some theories are being overrepresented. AnnaCat2 ( talk) 21:51, 1 September 2016 (UTC) Reply Īfter reading the article, I have a few concerns about plagiarism and bias in the writing. Additionally, it may be worth switching the order of the "Factors" section and the "Digit Span" section for the sake of clarity and ease of navigation since 'Extrinsic factors' and 'Intrinsic factors' are both currently listed improperly under "Digit Span". Additionally, looking under the section "Digit span", the sentence "For example, it is difficult to understand a whole sentence without remembering the words at the beginning long enough to connect them with the words at the end" is un-cited and seems to be written in a very casual manner suggesting it may be something considered 'common sense,' but this can be dangerous as most everything else in this article is presented as research backed facts. Noting especially the section under "Intrinsic factors: Permanent Pathological Conditions" and "Extrinsic factors" 2, 3, and 6. This article makes a number of claims that are not backed up with cited research and probably should be.
