Embretson, Susan E.

Intelligence, v20 n2 p169-89 Mar-Apr 1995

The impact of general control processing and working memory capacity on a measure of abstract intelligence was examined with 577 military recruits. A new multicomponent latent trait model for covert response was applied to item response data for matrix problems. General control processing has a stronger impact. (SLD)
