Comparison of correlations between Ratio−RT and RT-difference scores on PSLT, and fluid abilities measures and age.

Fluid abilities measures Pearson correlation with RT-difference scores Pearson correlation with Ratio−RT p-value
RAPM 0.03 0.29 0.011
Dot matrix 0.05 0.41 < 0.001
Inspection time 0.06 −0.25 0.002

RAPM, Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices (number of correct items); Dot matrix, Dot Matrix Task (number of correct items completed); Inspection time, averaged z-score from two Inspection Time tasks; Symbol digit, Symbol-Digit Coding Task (number of correct items completed); Mental rotation, Mental Rotation Task (number of correct items). p-value, significance value for a William's (1959) test comparing the two correlations between each fluid ability and the two sequence learning measures. Smaller Inspection Time scores indicate faster processing speed; hence, the negative correlation between Inspection Time and Ratio−RT suggests a positive relationship between processing speed and learning.
