Comparison of Performance of Eight-Year-Old Children on Three Auditory Sequential Memory Tests

Abstract

20 normal children (M_age = 8.2 yr.) were administered three tests of auditory sequential memory. A Pearson product-moment correlation of .50 and coefficients of determination showed all but one relationship to be nonsignificant and predictability between pairs of scores to be poor.
