Reaction Time Variability and Intelligence: A "Worst Performance" Analysis of Individual Differences.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Larson, Gerald E.; Alderton, David L. – Intelligence, 1990
To clarify the relationships between reaction time (RT) variability and intelligence, RT distributions from 303 male Navy recruits were partitioned into 16 fast-to-slow latency bands calculated with measures of mental ability. The slowest bands (worst trials) were the best predictors of intelligence and working memory performance. (SLD)

Letter Naming Time, Digit Span, and Precocious Reading Achievement.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jackson, Nancy Ewald; Myers, Mary Gjerness – Intelligence, 1982
In two six-month longitudinal studies of intellectually advanced preschool children, letter naming time and background digit span were moderately good predictors of concurrent reading achievement, while no other standard cognitive indices, including mental age, were associated with reading achievement. Both memory span and retrieval were related…

The Measurement of Reading Comprehension: How Not to Trade Construct Validity for Predictive Power.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Daneman, Meredyth – Intelligence, 1982
The effectiveness of a measure of the processing capacity of working memory, called the reading span test, is demonstrated in predicting performance and understanding individual differences in reading comprehension. (Author/PN)
