SN - 0971-4189 PY - 2017/// KW - Visuo-spatial WM, visual WM, spatial WM, ageing N2 - Visuo-spatial working memory (WM) decline with advancing ageis a well-established fact. But, there is no agreement on whether, aparticular visual or spatial information declines as similarly as thevisuo-spatial information as a whole. The present study addressedthis question in a lifespan sample of 80 participants between 40-80years old. Three specific tasks were designed for visual, spatial andvisuo-spatial working memory. It was found that, a performanceacross visual WM was better than the spatial WM. Moreover, signif-icant differences were found between visual and spatial WM score[F (4, 75) = 32.65, p < .05]; visual and visuo-spatial WM score [F(4, 75) = 34.43, p < .05]. However, no significant difference wasfound between spatial and visuo-spatial WM score. In addition, thedecline pattern of spatial domain was similar to visuo-spatialdomain as a whole. This result revealed that the decline ofvisuo-spatial WM system with aging is primarily a decline of infor-mation associated with the location of the objects appeared in thevisual system. Hence, possible interpretations of these findings aresuggested and the theoretical and clinical implications considered UR - https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/56924902/Vol-31-2.pdf?1530700980=&response-content-disposition=inline%3B+filename%3DPattern_of_Decline_of_Digit_Span_Tasks_i.pdf&Expires=1624349408&Signature=R0KJaSeaTPRxFOOt9xPNEQL2YM9zLEduy-puQ~DvUIUT6lIgpMYwrDlshAhqr6bqb-ysbj7ngQRTvAcOdaUxwtRW7m7tuTGM4CaFgiG~YwM-yC~MBeb~fZRlCCzgUIGVIpCzcBkLO91VulFGr-yq9FlohiYXMhCQ1QVRnOFgaKv~lmsklVeHylwY4s6G9xFiYwhhKboOtA4DMDeF6cHdl7Mbjjhv2qmDSUp6e0obD50cTjmd612LEOt2Df1qa9oSIL2O3F72UAp2m2bUziT2Nv7AcyU0BkA4Ih9pzptUvkFCfNVIylzS3NuvsTEJwLLbWlK-kFex0yGmJb6vzY6jtw__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA#page=22 ER -
