Intelligence and RT: A Modified Hick Paradigm and a New RT Paradigm.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Neubauer, Aljoscha C. – Intelligence, 1991
The relationship between speed of information processing (SIP) and psychometric intelligence was investigated by giving 60 college students (22 males and 38 females) 2 choice reaction time (RT) tests (modified Hick paradigm) and Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices. Results support an association between intelligence and SIP. (SLD)

Abstract Categorization Ability as a Predictor of Learning Disability Classification.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Scott, Marcia S.; And Others – Intelligence, 1986
This study evaluated the diagnostic validity of a task measuring abstract categorization ability in learning disabled (LD) and non-LD children. Data showed that the component of abstract category knowledge that best disciminates LD children from non-LD, is the knowledge of how members of abstract categories differ from each other.

Comparison of Black-White Differences on the WISC-R and the K-ABC: Spearman's Hypothesis.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Naglieri, Jack A.; Jensen, Arthur R. – Intelligence, 1987
The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) and the Wechsler Intelligence for Children-Revised (WISC-R) were compared with respect to the magnitudes of the average White-Black differences in standardized scaled scores and in raw scores. Subjects were 172 fourth- and fifth-grade children matched in Black-White pairs. (Author/LMO)

Sources of Continuity in Infant Predictors of Later IQ.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cardon, Lon R.; Fulker, David W. – Intelligence, 1991
Sources of continuity among nine measures of infant cognitive processing and later childhood intelligence quotient were examined through developmental structural equation models applied to a sample of 208 twin pairs measured from 7 to 36 months. Skills assessed appear related to general cognitive ability in a relatively unstable manner. (SLD)

The General Factor in Short-Term Memory, Intelligence, and Reaction Time.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Miller, Linda T.; Vernon, Philip A. – Intelligence, 1992
The general intelligence factor (g) was investigated using 170 university students across three batteries of ability measures: (1) a short-term memory battery; (2) the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery; and (3) a reaction time battery. Results support the notion of g and suggest short-term memory as an essential aspect of intelligence. (SLD)

Spearman's Hypothesis Tested with Chronometric Information-Processing Tasks.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jensen, Arthur R. – Intelligence, 1993
Two studies with 658 white and 353 African-American elementary school children performing reaction time tasks are offered in support of Spearman's hypothesis about the relative size of the mean African-American-white differences on mental tests as a function of the tests' loadings on psychometric "g."

Breakdowns in Flexible Use of Information: Intelligence-Related Differences in Transfer Following Equivalent Learning Performance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Campione, Joseph C.; And Others – Intelligence, 1985
Groups of retarded and nonretarded children were investigated as they learned three rules underlying problems adapted from the Raven Progressive Matrices Test: rotation, imposition, and subtraction. Results were seen as consistent with theories that emphasize transfer flexibility as one potential source of individual and comparative differences in…
