Abstract
The Raven's Progressive Matrices and tasks measuring memory for design, figure copying, free recall, serial recall, and digit span were ad ministered to 67 college students. Factor analytic results indicated that the first three measures loaded on a factor termed simultaneous processing while the latter three measures loaded on a successive processing factor. These results were consistent with previous research with young children indicating that these cognitive processing styles are employed by college students as well as younger students. A self-report measure of preference for simultaneous or successive cognitive processing was found to be unrelated to measured processing styles.
