Reaction Time and Intelligence in the Mentally Retarded.

Vernon, Philip A.

Intelligence, v5 n4 p345-55 Oct-Dec 1981

Mildly retarded young adults were given simple and choice reaction time (RT) tests. Subjects' RTs increased with stimulus complexity. RTs of retarded subjects were slower and evidenced more intraindividual variability than those of nonretarded subjects. Several RT parameters were related to measures of intelligence. (Author/RD)
