Power and Speed Components of Individual Differences in Letter Matching.

Schwartz, Steven; And Others

Intelligence, v7 n4 p369-78 Oct-Dec 1983

A correlation exists between verbal ability test scores and name identity minus physical identity reaction times in a letter matching task. The present results support Carroll's (1981) suggestion that the reaction time difference is related more to speed than power component of standardized tests and is not optimum for prediction.
