Ebook: Speed of Information-Processing and Intelligence

"In the first four chapters, attention is paid to recent reaction time research, including studies of the heritability of measures of speed of information-processing, neurophysiological correlates of reaction times, the role of attention in reaction time performance, and a comprehensive meta-analysis of reaction times in the Hick paradigm. Chapters five through eight provide critical commentaries on reaction time research and offer a number of interesting interpretations regarding the place of mental speed in intelligence theories. Chapter nine is devoted to research on inspection times and provides the most thorough treatment of this topic that has appeared to date. Finally, in chapter ten, the “last word” is reserved for “The Next Word on Verbal Ability”: an exhaustive account of this topic by one of the leading contributors to the field."
