Test-Proximity Effects in a Single-Session Individual Differences Study of Learning Ability: The Case of Activation Savings.

Chaiken, Scott R.

Intelligence, v17 n2 p173-90 Apr-Jun 1993

The possibility that the ability measure activation savings is related to practiced skill, not because of cognitive overlap, but because of the proximity of savings' measurement to measurement of practiced skill was assessed with 404 military trainees. Implications for individual difference research of test-proximity effects are discussed. (SLD)
