Abstract(s)
O tempo de reação em tarefas simples e tarefas complexas correlaciona-se estatisticamente com os resultados em testes
de inteligência. Sujeitos com maior capacidade intelectual apresentam tempos de reação mais breves, especialmente em
tarefas complexas envolvendo escolha. Estes dados foram observados numa amostra de 300 candidatos numa situação
real de seleção profissional envolvendo a utilização das Matrizes Progressivas de Raven (versão standard). Ainda que a
literatura na área interprete as diferenças individuais nos tempos de reação como reflexo das componentes centrais de
processamento de informação, sugerindo por exemplo que a memória a curto prazo modera a correlação entre
inteligência e tempos de reação, tentamos neste artigo introduzir fatores não cognitivos associados à tomada de decisão
na explicação desses mesmos coeficientes.
ABSTRACT: The reaction time on elementary and complex cognitive tasks is statistically correlated with intelligence tests. Subjects with higher cognitive capacity present shorter reaction times, namely in more complex tasks involving choice. These data have been confirmed on a sample of 300 candidates in a professional selection situation that included Raven Progressive Matrices (standard version). Even though literature analyses the individual differences in reaction time as reflecting central components of information processing, for example, suggesting that short-term memory mediates the relationship between intelligence and reaction time, in this study we will try to introduce non cognitive factors on decision making to explain these correlation coefficients.
