Reaction times and intelligence in Korean children

J Psychol. 1992 Jul;126(4):421-8. doi: 10.1080/00223980.1992.10543375.

Abstract

Nine-year-old Korean children (N = 299) were tested for reaction time (RT) and intelligence measured by Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices. Reaction times were broken into decision times and movement times and into three degrees of complexity. The results showed low but generally statistically significant correlations between decision times and intelligence. Generally, no significant differences existed between movement times and intelligence. Boys showed significantly faster movement times than girls did.
