- Exploring Memory Span and Capacity: A Replication of Martin (1978, Experiment 2), Garcia Mairena et al. (2025). The Quantitative Methods for Psychology. Outcome recorded: mixed.
The results obtained in the current study of Martin's (1978) second experiment are consistent with the hypothesis that digit span is a reliable predictor of other memory tasks. However, our findings only partially align with those reported by Martin (1978). The results show significant, albeit weak, correlations between digit span scores and scores on the two serial recall tasks among all participants (r = 0.32 for strict recall and r = 0.34 for lenient recall; see Table…
