Abstract
Speed tests were given under conditions which involved the exposure on a screen of simple narrative material, the exposure times being experimentally varied by means of a projection apparatus. Altitude, or the difficulty level attained in a series of problems of increasing difficulty without time restrictions, was measured by scores obtained through the use of the completion elements of Thorndike's CAVD tests. In a group of 116 college students speed of mental processes was a negligible factor in determining the correlations between the test of altitude and the tests given under widely varying time restrictions. Mental ability is not contingent upon the speed of mental processes. Speed and altitude do not involve a marked community of function. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
