Using 17 female and 33 male Yale undergraduates, the relationship between the ability to cope with relative novelty and intelligence was assessed. Results of subjects' performance of novel and non-novel versions of a sentence-verification task indicated that the relationship was positive. (TJH)

An auditory inspection time (AIT) test, pitch discrimination tests, and verbal and non-verbal mental ability tests were administered to 59 undergraduates and 119 12-year-old school children. Results indicate that AIT correlations with intelligence are due to AIT being an index of information intake speeds. (TJH)
