Summary

Accommodation

Students took the test first in a highly speeded condition and then were given enough time to finish the test, using a different colored pencil.

Participants

Two groups of high school students participated.

Dependent Variable

The number of correct items on two types of measures were used: Verbal analogies, Arithmetic reasoning.

Findings

High correlations were found between speeded and nonspeeded tests, although they were considerably higher with verbal tests than with arithmetic tests.
