Abstract
Intelligence has been shown to be a mediating factor in the performance of many tasks. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) scores and performance on a multi-task performance battery, the USAF Criterion Task Set (CTS). Performance scores for high and low WAIS-R groups (N=26/group) were compared across each task component of the CTS. Results of this study indicate that there is a fairly strong relationship between intelligence, as measured by WAIS-R, and performance on the CTS central processing tasks. Subjects scoring high on the WAIS-R are likely to be more accurate and faster in their responses than subjects who scored low on the WAIS-R. Verbal and performance subscales of the WAIS-R did not appear to mediate task performance differentially. In general, WAIS-R performance does not seem to be related to perceptual input tasks or motor/output tasks of the CTS battery.
