Intelligence, inspection time and cognitive strategies

Intelligence , Inspection Time , Decision Time

Relationships between Multidimensional Aptitude Battery (MAB) scores, inspection time (IT), choice reaction time (CRT), and the odd-man procedure (OMO) were investigated. IT was measured using a curve-fitting procedure that was less susceptible to variable task performance. IQ correlated significantly with IT (r = -.624) and OMO decision time (DT; r = .365) as well as with CRT DT (r = -.28). IT...

Inspection Time and Intelligence: A Meta-Analysis

A meta-analysis of research on the relationship between inspection time (IT) and intelligence (IQ) was performed to: (1) determine whether a nonzero relationship between IT and IQ exists, (2) estimate the size of this relationship if it exists, and (3) test whether IT is ontogenetically related to g. Separate meta-analyses were initially conducted for results of studies using measures of genera...

Reductionism and intelligence: the case of inspection time.

Overlap between visual inspection time tasks and general intelligence

The stimulus display duration required for subjects to accurately compare the length of two line lengths (known as Inspection Time: IT), reliably correlates around 0.5 with general intelligence. It is not clear, however, if this correlation reflects general “speed of processing”, or some other element of the task. There is a consequent need for new experimental paradigms. We describe a novel IT...

The level and nature of autistic intelligence III: Inspection time.

Across the autism spectrum, level of intelligence is highly dependent on the psychometric instrument used for assessment, and there are conflicting views concerning which measures best estimate autistic cognitive abilities. Inspection time is a processing speed measure associated with general intelligence in typical individuals. We therefore investigated autism spectrum performance on inspectio...
