The Operation Span Test (OSPAN) is widely used to assess working memory capacity. However, this instrument has been rarely used to test Japanese participants because its task was not sufficiently difficult. The mean score for the original computerized OSPAN often reached a ceiling when Japanese participants were tested. In this study, we developed a computerized version of OSPAN for Japanese participants by increasing the task difficulty of the arithmetic procedures. The OSPAN scores were normally distributed and the mean score was approximately 50%. There were positive correlations between OSPAN scores and other scores of working memory measurements, such as a reading span test and a digit span test. These results suggest that the Japanese OSPAN is a reliable and valid measurement of working memory to test Japanese participants.

無償OSであるUbuntu上で, OctaveとPsychtoolboxを利用した実験環境の構築方法について紹介した。商用ソフトウェアはサポートの終了やプログラムの改変に対する制約, 価格の問題などを抱えており, 無償かつ改変可能な実験環境を構築できることがのぞましい。ただし無償ソフトウェアを用いた実験環境を構築するためのドキュメントは未だ少ないため, 本稿では基本的な設定手順や注意すべき点について説明した。またサンプルプログラムを掲載し, Psychtoolbox上でのプログラミング方法を紹介した。
