Secular gain and drop in cognitive test performances over time have been observed and called respectively the Flynn and anti-Flynn effects. The current datasets include raw data from an investigation of the Flynn and/or anti-Flynn effects on verbal and visuospatial short-term and working memory reported in 'The Flynn effect for verbal and visuospatial short-term and working memory: A cross-temporal meta-analysis' (Wongupparaj, Wongupparaj, Kumari, Morris, 2017) [1]. Specifically, the datasets totally contain 1754 individual samples (n = 139,677) across a 43-year period from forward/backward digit span (F/BDS) and forward/backward Corsi-block span (CBS) tests. Mean memory test scores, standard deviation scores, types of memory tests, years of publication, mean ages, male percentages, types of publication, types of countries, platforms of memory tests, and sample sizes were collected and included in the datasets. DS and CBS data are unique in that they can provide a rich source of trends concerning changing short-term and working memory test scores across memory types, test platforms, age groups, gender, and countries. Further, these data can be of use for investigation of psychometric properties for the memory tests.
长期以来，人们观察到认知测试表现的世俗增长和下降，并分别称之为弗林效应和反弗林效应。当前数据集包括来自“言语和视觉空间短期及工作记忆的弗林效应：跨时元分析”（Wongupparaj、Wongupparaj、Kumari、Morris，2017年）[1]中所报告的关于弗林效应和/或反弗林效应在言语和视觉空间短期及工作记忆方面调查的原始数据。具体而言，这些数据集总共包含了在43年期间来自顺背/倒背数字广度（F/BDS）测试和顺背/倒背科尔西方块广度（CBS）测试的1754个个体样本（n = 139,677）。收集了平均记忆测试分数、标准差分数、记忆测试类型、发表年份、平均年龄、男性百分比、发表类型、国家类型、记忆测试平台以及样本量，并将其纳入数据集中。数字广度测试和科尔西方块广度测试数据的独特之处在于，它们能够提供丰富的趋势来源，涉及不同记忆类型、测试平台、年龄组、性别和国家之间短期和工作记忆测试分数的变化。此外，这些数据可用于研究记忆测试的心理测量特性。
