The Relations Between Choice Time And Intelligence Of Children

Choice time (CT)is an important key index of Speed of Information Processing(SIP)and CT experiment is an important paradigm in the domain of intelligence.Researchers try to explore the reasons of the differences between the basis of human's intelligence and individual's intelligence,through studying the relation between CT and intelligence.The study of the relation between CT and in telligence came from 70s,but the deeper study did not begin until recent years .At present the study focuses on discussing the essential of the relation between the two and the participators of these studies are usually normal adults.So there are few systematiely studies of CT which focus on the children.Thus this study focused on the children in urban whose ages are 9, 10, 11 and 12:(1)The characteristics of the development of the children's CT.(2)The universalism of the relation between CT and intelligence of children.(3)Explorig the characteristics of relation between CT and the intelligence of the children from the angle of development.From the present research.the following conclusions were drawn:1 The characteristics of the children's CT represent as follows:firstly,with the increasing of the ages,CT has the trends of decreasing,secondly,the speed of the development of the children's CT is influenced by the ages and the tasks of information processing.2 There is a significant correlation between CT and the scores of the intelligent tests of the children and the result has the universality, seeing from the relations between CT and intelligence in different groups of ages,there is a moderately negative correlationbetween CT and the scores of the intelligent tests of the children. With the increasing of the ages the degree of the correlation between them has a certain fluctuation.which represents the trend of decreasing comparatively. It reflects that the incrensing of experience and knowledge have effect on the relations between CT and the intelligent tests.Actually CT can reflect the liguid intelligenc'e better.3 There are different relations between CT and the intelligence to the children who have different levels of CT.Though there is obvions correlation between CT and intelligent tests to the children who are in both fast or slow CT groups ,the groups.which get slow CT can predict the scores of the intelligence better.This study hinted:that CT relate to two indiscerptible parts,which are the speed of central information processing and the basic units of materials.
