Previous research suggests a negative relationship between test taking speed and
performance in mental ability testing, inviting researchers to explore the origin of individual …

The development of mental speed has been studied extensively in recent research, but its
consequences on individual differences in intelligence are still largely unknown. We …

The term speed-accuracy tradeoff is used when an increase in response speed comes at the
expense of response accuracy. Although originally a concept from experimental psychology …

The construct validity of group factor models of personality, which are typically derived from
factor analysis of questionnaire items, relies on the ability of each factor to predict …

Performance on speeded ability tests, in contrast to power tests, reflects an individual's
ability to get answers correct and to do so rapidly. However, with speeded tests, overall …

The purpose of this paper is to review some of the key literature on response time as it has
played a role in cognitive ability measurement, providing a historical perspective as well as …

Past research has indicated that a person's speed on cognitive tasks is correlated with his or
her intelligence (Sheppard & Vernon, 2007). This has influenced the belief that faster …

The main challenge of ability tests relates to the difficulty of items, whereas speed tests
demand that test takers complete very easy items quickly. This article proposes a conceptual …

It is commonly acknowledged that ability and speed are not separate constructs but interact
with each other. Traditionally, the ability-speed interplay has been seen as a problem to be …

It has been suggested that correlations observed between psychometric intelligence and
simple reaction-time (RT) tasks support mental speed models of intelligence. It has also …
