Abstract
This paper used the author's full data archive to examine the correlates of the Baddeley Reasoning Test (BRT) in six studies with a student population. The correlations between the BRT and Wonderlic Personnel Test (WPT), a 12-min, well-established American test of general intelligence, ranged from 0.46 < r < 0.65 in six data sets. Correlations (uncorrected) with a measure of General Knowledge in three studies showed 0.17 < r < 0.36. BRT scores correlated with the Raven's Progressive Matrices r = 0.59. Correlations with a creativity test in four studies was, as predicted, not statistically significant. The usefulness of the BRT is discussed, along with its limitations, particularly criterion-related validity and range restrictions with attenuation of correlations.
期刊介绍:
Applied Cognitive Psychology seeks to publish the best papers dealing with psychological analyses of memory, learning, thinking, problem solving, language, and consciousness as they occur in the real world. Applied Cognitive Psychology will publish papers on a wide variety of issues and from diverse theoretical perspectives. The journal focuses on studies of human performance and basic cognitive skills in everyday environments including, but not restricted to, studies of eyewitness memory, autobiographical memory, spatial cognition, skill training, expertise and skilled behaviour. Articles will normally combine realistic investigations of real world events with appropriate theoretical analyses and proper appraisal of practical implications.
