Abstract – The neuropsychological tests of spatial span are designed to measure attention and working memory.
The version of the spatial span test in the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB)
evaluates these functions through the recall of sequences of spatial locations presented to the subject. Objective:
The present study investigated how age, gender and educational level might affect the performance of the nonverbal system. Methods: A total of 60 children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years were assessed (25 males and 35
females). Results: The results showed no gender differences in test performance. Children with six or more years
of education showed better performance than children with less than three years of education. Older children
had more schooling and thus were able to recall a greater number of items. Span length values proved similar
to a previous large normative study which also employed the CANTAB Spatial Span (De Luca et al., 2003).
Conclusion: The similarity in performance of the Brazilian children and adolescents studied and the group of
Australian participants examined by the cited authors, despite the socio-cultural and economical differences,
points to the suitability of the task for the assessment of attention and working memory in Brazilian children.
Key words:neuropsychological tests, CANTAB, spatial span, working memory, children, educational status.
