---|---|---|---|
RAPM | 0.03 | 0.29 | 0.011 |
Dot matrix | 0.05 | 0.41 | < 0.001 |
Inspection time | 0.06 | −0.25 | 0.002 |
Symbol digit | −0.16 | 0.19 | 0.001 |

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.
