Working memory is essential for learning—it allows students to temporarily hold and manipulate information while engaging in tasks like reading, problem-solving, and following instructions. Strong working memory supports academic growth across all subject areas, while weaknesses can make even simple tasks more challenging.
The WJ V Visual Working Memory Test measures how well students can retain and recall visual information, even when distracted. Recommended for ages 6 to 80+, this test provides valuable data on two cognitive domains: working memory (Gwm) and visual processing (Gv). By challenging examinees to remember and reproduce dot patterns after a brief distractor activity, it delivers meaningful insights into active memory and attention skills.
Why Choose the WJ V Visual Working Memory Test?
Targets Key Cognitive Abilities
Evaluates both working memory and visual processing, offering a dual perspective on critical cognitive functions.
Engaging Format
Students view dot patterns, complete a simple visual distractor, then recall the patterns—keeping the process dynamic and interactive.
Automated Scoring
The platform tracks accuracy in recalling dot locations and calculates a total score automatically, reducing examiner workload.
Broad Age Range
Designed for individuals from 6 to 80+, this test provides useful insights for both children and adults.
How It Works
Examinees briefly view a pattern of dots, then complete a quick visual comparison task as a distractor. Immediately after, they recall the dot locations by tapping the tablet. The platform automatically scores accuracy, taking into account both correct and incorrect placements, and generates a total test score.
Gain Insight Into Visual Memory and Attention
The WJ V Visual Working Memory Test provides a clear, research-backed way to evaluate memory retention and visual processing. Use it to identify strengths and challenges in working memory that impact learning and daily performance.
