Schweizer, Karl – Intelligence, 2001
Studied the contribution of preattentive processes to the cognitive speed-ability relationship for 80 participants. Results reveal an increase in ability-related variances due to the stimulation of preattentive processes. Coefficients for a structural equation model indicated that preattentive processes exerted a stronger effect on cognitive…
