Définition

  • Method developed by Haarmann et al. (2003) to assess the capacity of semantic short-term memory. The subject is presented with lists of nine words belonging to three different semantic categories. For each list, the subject is asked to remember the words belonging to one of the categories. For example, if the list is made up of the words lamp, pear, tiger, apple, grape, elephant, horse, fax, telephone, he/she is asked to recall the words of the FRUIT category. Several trials are performed and the conceptual span is the number of words recalled across all trials.
