Kyllonen, Patrick C.; Christal, Raymond E.
Intelligence, v14 n4 p389-433 Oct-Dec 1990
The relationship between reasoning ability, as indicated by performance on conventional reasoning tests, and working memory capacity was investigated in 4 studies involving 723, 412, 414, and 595 military recruits, respectively. The results demonstrate a consistently high correlation between general reasoning ability and general working-memory capacity. (SLD)
