Test-Taking Speed: Predictors and Implications
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lovett, Benjamin J.; Lewandowski, Lawrence J.; Potts, Heather E. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2017
Students often feel time pressure when taking tests, and students with disabilities are sometimes given extended time testing accommodations, but little research has been done on the factors that affect students' test-taking speed. In the present study, 253 students at two colleges completed measures of processing speed, reading fluency, and…

Comparison of WAIS-R Selected Subtest Short Forms in a Mixed Clinical Population.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Abraham, Elizabeth; Axelrod, Bradley N.; Paolo, Anthony M. – Assessment, 1997
Seven different short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Revised (WAIS-R) were compared in a mixed clinical sample of 306 adults to evaluate short form predictions of the full scale IQ. The seven-test short form of C. Ward (1990) was the best predictor across ranges of intellectual functioning, supporting its use when time is limited.…

Kilian, Lawrence J. – 1978
In this study, cognitive processes hypothesized to be relevant to the digit symbol task of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) were examined. Fifty-two undergraduate education students were divided into four groups to receive four different treatments. All the students took the digit symbol test, followed immediately by a test of their…

Speed of Information Processing and General Intelligence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Vernon, Philip A. – Intelligence, 1983
This study investigated the relationship between measures of speed of cognitive information processing and intelligence test scores. Cognitive processing measures were significantly related to IQ scores. Reaction time tests measure cognitive operations basic to intelligence, and individual differences in intelligence are partly due to variability…

Using Speeded Cognitive, Reading, and Academic Measures to Determine the Need for Extended Test Time among University Students with Learning Disabilities
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Ofiesh, Nicole; Mather, Nancy; Russell, Andrea – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2005
This study examined the relationship between scores on "speeded" cognitive and academic tests and the need for the accommodation of extended test time for normally achieving students (NA) and students with learning disabilities (LD). Often, in postsecondary settings the decision to provide the accommodation of extended test time is based…

Parental Problem-Solving Speed as a Correlate of Intelligence in Parents and Their Adopted and Natural Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Willerman, Lee; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1979
Adoptive parents and their adoptive and natural children took IQ tests. Speed of solution correlated with verbal IQ and .51 with performance IQ among the parents. Mothers' speed correlated negligibly with scores of adoptive and natural children. Fathers' speed correlated more with their natural than adopted children's performance scores.…
