Complex Span (working memory)
Family of working-memory span tasks that interleave a processing requirement (math, reading, symmetry judgment) with serial-storage probes. Together they estimate working-memory capacity as a latent factor that loads on fluid intelligence and resists single-task contamination. Members in the current catalog: operation-span, reading-span; would gain symmetry-span if that proposal is approved.
