Abstract
The hypothesis that reaction times are positively associated with intelligence was tested on 479 9-yr.-old Chinese Hong Kong children. Intelligence was measured by the Standard Progressive Matrices, and 12 reaction time parameters were obtained to give measures of movement times, reaction times proper (decision times), differentiated into simple and complex reaction times, and their variabilities. Factor analysis of the reaction time tasks indicated the presence of a general reaction time factor and three component factors identifiable as movement times, reaction times proper, and variabilities. All three components showed statistically significant associations with intelligence of approximately equal magnitudes.
