'spatial span' is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It usually refers to a measure of short-term memory that gauges a person's ability to remember information in a specific sequence or order. For example, "The researchers tested the participants' spatial span by presenting them with a series of numbered objects that they had to remember."
Backward spatial span (Backward SS): This test evaluates how recent visuospatial information is handled (Shiels Jr et al., 2008).
Beneath the Tosya Basin, a resistive body (R1: > 1000 Ωm) is apparent, covering a large spatial span in the area.
Significant results were observed in Spatial Span Forwards, Immediate Logical Memory and Pictures of Facial Affect (POFA) total score.
It is a computer adaptation of the Corsi Block-Tapping Task and of the Spatial Span subtest integrated into WISC-IV (Wechsler, 2013), which incorporates characteristics of CANTAB's Spatial Span Task, provided by Psychology Software Tools, Pittsburgh-PA (Shiels et al., 2008).
For four tests (AVLT Immediate Recall, Digit Span, Spatial Span and Grammatical Transformation), beneficial effects of chewing and glucose were found, supporting the study hypothesis.
For four tests [Auditory Verbal Learning Task (AVLT) Recall, Digit Span, Spatial Span and Grammatical Transformation), beneficial effects of chewing and glucose were found, supporting the study hypothesis.
The nine assessed CANTAB neurocognitive tasks include: Affective Go/No-Go, Big/ Little Circle Cambridge Gambling Task, Choice Reaction Time, Motor Screening, Match to Sample Visual Search, Rapid Visual Processing, Spatial Recognition Memory, and Spatial Span task.
Seventy-five minutes post-infusion, the subjects performed tests of attention (Rapid Visual Information Processing [RVIP]), spatial working memory (Spatial Span) and emotional processing (Affective Go/No-go task [AGNG]).
On the attention task, performance was impaired under both hydrocortisone doses relative to placebo, though the effect on error rate was not significant after controlling for age; Spatial Span performance was unaffected by hydrocortisone administration.
However, errors only exist in a time interval of tens of milliseconds (several times of particle relaxation time) and a spatial span of several millimeters (several times of particle diameter).
Performance after the intervening serial subtraction task loaded on an auditory/visual working memory and complex attention factor and had common loadings with working memory subtests of the WAIS-III and the spatial span subtest of the WMS-III.
