The Structure of Cognitive Speed Measures in Old and Young Adults.

Tomer, Adrian; Cunningham, Walter R.

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v28 n1 p1-24 1993

Structure of measures of speed was studied by conducting simultaneous confirmatory factor analysis for 1 sample of 149 elderly adults and a sample of 147 young adults using 16 measures of speed. Five first-order factors of speed were found, as hypothesized, and three second-order speed factors were necessary. (SLD)
