Intelligence: The Speed and Accuracy Tradeoff in High Aptitude Individuals.
Lajoie, Suzanne P.; Shore, Bruce M.
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v9 n2 p85-104 Win 1986
The relative contributions of mental speed and accuracy to Primary Mental Ability (PMA) IQ prediction were studied in 52 high ability grade 10 students. Both speed and accuracy independently predicted IQ, but not speed over and above accuracy. Accuracy was demonstrated to be universally advantageous in IQ performance, but speed varied according to the test. (Author/CL)
