متن کاملGenetic covariance among measures of information processing speed, working memory, and IQ.
The genetic relationship between lower (information processing speed), intermediate (working memory), and higher levels (complex cognitive processes as indexed by IQ) of mental ability was studied in a classical twin design comprising 166 monozygotic and 190 dizygotic twin pairs. Processing speed was measured by a choice reaction time (RT) task (2-, 4-, and 8-choice), working memory by a visual...
متن کاملBrief report: speed of information processing in children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
