Abstract
Measurements of various parameters derived from different reaction time (RT) paradigms are found to be correlated with psychometric measurements of general mental ability. Such RT-derived measurements, when combined in a multiple regression equation, predict some 50 per cent or more of the variance in IQ or g. This relationship of IQ or g to RT parameters indicates that our standard IQ tests tap fundamental processes involved in individual differences in intellectual ability and not merely differences in specific knowledge, acquired skills, or cultural background.

When subjects judge whether a test symbol is contained in a short memorized sequence of symbols, their mean reaction-time increases linearly with the length of the sequence, implying the existence of an internal serial-comparison process.

Pigeons pecked at small forms displayed on an oscilloscope screen under computer control and a photocell glued to the bird's beak provided a signal to the computer when the beak approached a form, and the computer recorded the time and target of the response.

It was found that normal and retarded individuals spent the same amount of time processing subspan lists during input to the memory system; however, the normal subjects spent less time retrieving information from that system than did the retarded subjects.

There is some evidence to suggest that, in certain types of situations, the behaviors of the mental retardate are characterized by a relatively high degree of variability.
