Relationship of selected cognitive abilities to concept attainment and information processing.

Scores from 16 tests, two for each of 8 abilities (General Reasoning, Verbal Comprehension, Induction, Deduction, Spatial Scanning, Perceptual Speed, Rote and Span Memory), and 18 scores from concept-attainment and informationprocessing tasks were obtained from each of 94 female as enrolled in educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin. The 34 task and ability variables were intercca,related, then factored using Alpha factor analysis. The 12 Alpha factors were rotated to an oblique solution according to the Harris-Kaiser criterion. Three abilities (General Reasoning, Induction and Verbal Comprehension) were found to be related to three concept-attainment and two informationprocessing factors. The concept-attainment and information-processing tasks were seen to be relatively distinct rather than unitary activities.
