伦敦（ToL）测试被广泛用于衡量规划和解决问题的各个方面。本研究的主要重点是评估ToL上不同绩效指标之间的关系。第二个目的是研究智力和工作记忆与ToL表现之间的关系。几个ToL参数的相互关系的分析表明，更好的ToL性能与更长的预先规划时间和更短的运动执行时间。良好的表演者表现出更强的增加，在预先规划时间与任务难度比中级或较差的规划。逐步多元回归分析得出流体智力是ToL表现的唯一重要预测因素。这些结果表明，伦敦塔评估主要是规划和解决问题，不能充分解释其他认知领域。
The Tower of London (ToL) test is widely used for measuring planning and aspects of problem solving. The primary focus of this study was to assess the relationship among different performance measures on the ToL. A secondary purpose was to examine the putative relationship between intelligence and working memory with that of ToL performance. Analyses of the interrelation of several ToL parameters indicated that better ToL performance was associated with longer preplanning time and shorter movement execution time. Good performers showed a stronger increase in preplanning duration with task difficulty than intermediate or poor planners. Stepwise multiple regression analysis yielded fluid intelligence as the only significant predictor of ToL performance. These results suggest that the Tower of London assesses predominantly planning and problem solving and could not be sufficiently explained by other cognitive domains.
