Digit Span Forward, Digit Repetition in Testing

To keep a slow, steady pace during digit span forward or digit repetition task, try this:

Say 5 (then say 5 silently to yourself), say 7 (then say 7 to yourself), say 3 (then say 3 to yourself), say 9 (then say 9 to yourself)...

This will keep you on a steady, slow pace. This helps to prevent chunking by the person you are testing.

If you need to, tape record yourself to check accuracy.
