尽管一般控制处理(即全局元组件)和工作记忆容量都已成为抽象智力的主要解释,但它们对个体差异的相对影响很少被比较。本研究探讨了一般控制处理和工作记忆容量对抽象智力重要测量任务的影响。用于隐蔽响应的新的多成分潜在特征模型(MLTM)被应用于矩阵问题的项目响应数据。通过该模型,工作记忆容量可以与一般控制处理分开,因为前者的项目处理要求在不同项目之间系统地变化(Carpenter、Just 和 Shell,1990),而后者保持不变。结构方程模型表明,这两种处理能力都是个体差异的重要来源。然而,一般控制处理的影响更大。在先前的理论和研究的背景下讨论了结果及其局限性。
Although both general control processing (i.e., global metacomponents) and working memory capacity have emerged as primary explanations of abstract intelligence, their relative impact on individual differences rarely has been compared. This study examines the impact of general control processing and working memory capacity on an important measuring task for abstract intelligence. A new multicomponent latent trait model (MLTM) for covert responses was applied to item response data for matrix problems. With this model, working memory capacity could be separated from general control processing because item processing requirements for the former varies systematically across items (Carpenter, Just, and Shell, 1990), whereas the latter remains constant. Structural equation modeling indicated that both processing abilities were significant sources of individual differences. However, general control processing had a stronger impact. The results, and their limitations, are discussed in the context of prior theory and research.
