Abstract
Digit Span of the WAIS III battery is frequently used in neuropsychological assessment, providing measures of working memory and attention span. However, there is a lack of update normative data and evidence of convergent validity in Argentina. The objective was to analyze the convergent validity of the Digit Span-WAIS III subtest in Argentina and obtain normative data according to education and age. 306 argentines participated. Digit Span-WAIS III, MoCA test, and fluency tasks were administered. Positive correlations were obtained between Digit Span-WAIS III, MoCA test and fluency. Education improved Digit Span-WAIS III performance, although the effect size was small. Age did not have a significant influence. Consequently, norms are provided with cut scores based only on education. In conclusion, this study offers Argentine normative data for the Digit Span-WAIS III, as well as evidence of acceptable, although borderline, convergent validity.
