The Interrelationship between Speeded and Unspeeded Divergent Thinking and Reasoning, and the Role of Mental Speed
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Preckel, Franzis; Wermer, Christina; Spinath, Frank M. – Intelligence, 2011
The relationship between intelligence and creativity is still subject to substantial debate in the research literature. In the present study, we focused on core dimensions of both constructs, that is divergent thinking and reasoning. We hypothesized their relationship to depend both on the speededness of test tasks and on the subject's mental…

Working Memory Training Does Not Improve Intelligence in Healthy Young Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Chooi, Weng-Tink; Thompson, Lee A. – Intelligence, 2012
Jaeggi and her colleagues claimed that they were able to improve fluid intelligence by training working memory. Subjects who trained their working memory on a dual n-back task for a period of time showed significant improvements in working memory span tasks and fluid intelligence tests such as the Raven's Progressive Matrices and the Bochumer…

Reversing the Speed-IQ Correlation: Intra-Individual Variability and Attentional Control in the Inspection Time Paradigm
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Fox, Mark C.; Roring, Roy W.; Mitchum, Ainsley L. – Intelligence, 2009
Elementary cognitive tasks (ECTs) are simple tasks involving basic cognitive processes for which speed of performance typically correlates with IQ. Inspection time (IT) has the strongest IQ correlations and is considered critical evidence for neural speed underlying individual differences in intelligence. However, results from Bors et al. [Bors,…

The Relation of Speeded and Unspeeded Reasoning with Mental Speed.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wilhelm, Oliver; Schulze, Ralf – Intelligence, 2002
Studied the contribution of mental speed to task performance on reasoning tasks under timed and untimed conditions for 227 participants and for 90 participants working under time conditions. Results suggest that the use of speeded reasoning tests is likely to lead to overestimates of the relation between mental speed and reasoning ability. (SLD)

The Relationship between Speed of Information Processing as Measured by Timed Paper-and-Pencil Tests and Psychometric Intelligence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lindley, Richard H.; And Others – Intelligence, 1988
The relationship between speed of information processing and Intelligence Quotient (IQ) was examined in 62 college students using timed paper-and-pencil substitution tests to measure processing speed. A psychometrically better IQ test showed a strong linear relationship between mean time to code and its correlation with IQ; this relationship was…

Reaction Time Correlations with Intelligence Test Scores Obtained under either Timed or Untimed Conditions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Vernon, Philip A.; Kantor, Lida – Intelligence, 1986
To assess the effects of timed/untimed testing conditions on intelligence scores, high school students were assigned to an intelligence test under either conditions and subsequently to a battery of eight reaction time tests. Results showed that subjects scores were related to the speed with which they processed information. (JAZ)

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…
