Abstract
Individual differences in processing speed and executive attention have both been proposed as explanations for individual differences in cognitive ability, particularly general and fluid intelligence (Engle et al., 1999; Kail & Salthouse, 1994). Both constructs have long intellectual histories in scientific psychology. This article attempts to describe the historical development of these constructs, particularly as they pertain to intelligence. It also aims to determine the degree to which speed and executive attention are theoretical competitors in explaining individual differences in intelligence. We suggest that attention is the more fundamental mechanism in explaining variation in human intelligence. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
处理速度和执行注意的个体差异都被提出来解释认知能力的个体差异，特别是一般智力和流体智力的个体差异（Engle 等人，1999；Kail & Salthouse，1994）。这两个概念在科学心理学中都有着悠久的历史。本文试图描述这些概念的历史发展，尤其是它们与智力相关的发展。本文还旨在确定速度和执行注意在解释智力个体差异方面的理论竞争程度。我们认为，注意力是解释人类智力差异的更基本的机制。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved）。
