The limited capacity theory is often cited to account for negative correlations between choice reaction time and different IQ measures. It is claimed, since working memory has strictly limited capacity to process a great amount of vital information and STM information decays if not rehearsed, that speed is an indispensable condition of efficient dealing with cognitive tasks. It ensures good performance before important information is forgotten. In the present experiment a special kind of task was applied-one which supposedly puts a substantial load on the system of working memory. It was hypothesized that subjects dealing well with this task would also obtain high scores on general ability tests. The data obtained from 48 psychology students in the self-paced, computer assisted study did not confirm this hypothesis. The data are interpreted as posing a challenge for the limited capacity theory, which must either be reformulated or replaced by better elaborated theoretical constructions. |
