Abstract

In recent times, psychologists have attempted to relate individual differences in intelligence either to differences in a subject's ability to divide attention or to differences in the speed with which they process the information offered by the environment. Because these approaches are not mutually exclusive and, indeed, have some important features in common, it was decided to examine the relationship between speed of processing and intelligence under conditions requiring divided attention. To this end, the Ravens Standard Progressive Matrices Test was administered to 48 subjects who subsequently performed a card-sorting task of varying information content under both single- and competing-task conditions. The obtained results point strongly to a more central role for complexity in speed of processing models of intelligence.
