Auditory Short-Term Memory and Digit Span: Normal versus Poor Readers.
Payne, M. Carr, Jr.; Holzman, Thomas G.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v75 n3 p424-30 Jun 1983

College students performed better when the first pattern was auditory. No relationship for college or fifth-grade students was found between digit span and accuracy in comparing patterns of tones.
