Dear Saranya,

In our multilab we used two short term memory tests: the digit span for verbal materials and a spatial span for visuo spatial materials. (I do not know if they fit your needs because they both do not stress much the "working" component of the memory. Anyway.)

They are both written in jspsych and implemented visually and written to be used in a jatos server.

In the OSF page there is also the link to a working demo.

Here the relevant documentation:

Best,

Hi everyone,

I hope you are doing well!

Could anyone point me to a working memory task that is freely available, reliable and can be used with adults with hearing loss and those with typical hearing?

I would really appreciate any guidance or suggestions!

Thank you!
Best,
Saranya
