Task Complexity and the Speed and Efficiency of Elemental Information Processing: Another Look at the Nature of Intellectual Giftedness.

Kranzler, John H.; And Others

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v19 n4 p447-59 Oct 1994

Speed and efficiency of elemental processing among the gifted were studied by comparing 55 gifted and 53 nongifted junior high school students on elementary cognitive tasks of different complexity. Results reveal that differences are related to requisite processing complexity, suggesting differences in speed and efficiency of lower-order cognitive processes. (SLD)
