Measuring Working Memory Capacity With Automated Complex Span Tasks (2012, methodology): “…CST performance is strongly related to reading comprehension (Daneman & Merikle, 1996) and fluid intelligence (Ackerman, Beier, & Boyle, 2005; Kane et al., 2005; Unsworth & Engle, 2007), and that effects of cognitive aging are larger for CSTs than for simple span tasks (Bopp & Verhaeghen, 2005).”

Plasticity of Brain Networks in a Randomized Intervention Trial of Exercise Training in Older Adults (2010, unknown): “…classic working memory tasks which require continual online processing and updating of information, and has been shown to be differentially affected by aging compared to working memory and to more closely align with Forward Digit Span in patterns of age-related deficit (Bopp and Verhaeghen, 2005).”
Span, CRUNCH, and Beyond: Working Memory Capacity and the Aging Brain (2010, background): “Although the majority of studies of WM capacity have been carried out in young adults, in the last several decades researchers have also investigated how WM changes with age (e.g., Craik & Byrd, 1982; Craik, 1968).”
The Musical Ear Test, a new reliable test for measuring musical competence (2010, background): “Age has been found to influence performance on other workingmemorymeasures, e.g. digit span (Bopp & Verhaeghen, 2005; Dobbs & Rule, 1989).”
