Is the acquisition of a theory of mind linked to a specific competence beyond three years of age?
January 1, 1998... The acquisition of a theory of mind (TOM) by young children is a much debated topic in developmental psychology. Several incompatible theories concern its possible innate basis and the modes and circumstances of its appearance which allow the...

Intelligence and the effects of perceptual processing demands, task difficulty and processing speed on P300, reaction time and movement time.
January 1, 1998... Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded to the memory set and probe stimuli in a Sternberg memory-scanning task and compared to intelligence scores on the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery (MAB). The memory set was changed on each trial...

Evaluating competing models of the relationship between inspection time and psychometric intelligence.
January 1, 1998... Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test models of the relationship between inspection time (IT) and psychometric measures of intelligence (the eleven subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised). The sample consisted...

The suppressed relationship between IQ and the reaction time slope parameter of the Hick function.
January 1, 1998... The two parameters of the Hick paradigm, the intercept (a) and the slope (b), of reaction time (RT) as a function of the information load scaled in bits (i.e., the binary logarithm of the number of stimulus-response alternatives) differ in...

Improved reaction time method, information processing speed, and intelligence.
January 1, 1998... Two experiments are presented which were designed to enhance the sensitivity of RT as an information processing correlate of general ability. The first measured RT to a rapid game-like sequence of stimuli using 16 participants. Correlations...
