Sustained Attention and Intelligence.

Tomporowski, Phillip D.; Simpson, Royce G.

Intelligence, v14 n1 p31-42 Jan-Mar 1990

The sustained attention of 16 mildly retarded and 16 nonretarded adults was assessed during 2 60-minute vigilance tests differing in memory demand. Performance of retarded subjects declined more rapidly in later stages than did that of the nonretarded subjects. Implications for the study of memory load are discussed. (SLD)
