Intelligence as an information-processing concept

E Hunt

    British Journal of Psychology (London, England : 1953)
    |November 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Information-processing capacity relates to intelligence test scores, especially in extreme groups. Accounting for problem-solving strategies improves this link, suggesting general intelligence (g) may involve attentional resources.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Psychometrics
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Information-processing capacities show limited correlation with intelligence in typical individuals.
    • Stronger correlations emerge when comparing groups with extreme differences in information-processing.
    • Previous studies linking memory and verbal comprehension highlight this disparity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between information-processing capacities and intelligence test scores.
    • To explore the role of problem-solving strategies in this relationship.
    • To examine the connection between general intelligence (g) and attentional resources.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of studies correlating memory and verbal comprehension.
    • Analysis of sentence verification tasks to assess information-processing and psychometric measures.

  • Application of dual-task methodology to memory and reasoning tests.

    • Main Results:

    • Accounting for problem-solving strategies significantly enhances the correspondence between information-processing and psychometric measures.
    • The dual-task methodology provided support for a link between general intelligence (g) and attentional resources.
    • Discrepancies in findings for normal versus extreme groups may stem from strategy differences.

    Conclusions:

    • Problem-solving strategies are crucial for understanding the link between information processing and intelligence.
    • General intelligence (g) appears to be related to the concept of attentional resources.
    • Further research is needed to fully explain the positive manifold in psychometric intelligence.
