When he looked back to one of the most frequently studied groups in expertise research, chess players, he found that, in addition to working or short-term memory, three more components of cognitive ability fluid reasoning, comprehension knowledge, and processing speed, all abilities that are, to some extent, heritable were related to performance.
In another study, Van Hooren et al. [ 17] evaluated cognitive function in terms of processing speed, reasoning, memory, knowledge, and verbal fluency after 12 months of HA use.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that improvements in processing speed transfer to distal health outcomes.
These tests addressed crystallized intelligence (knowledge) and fluid intelligence (reasoning, executive abilities), short-term memory and WM, attention, and cognitive processing speed, thus comprising a wide range of cognitive abilities: – The Mehrfachwahl-Wortschatz-Intelligenztest, part B (MWT-B) 30 assesses crystallized intelligence.
If comparing the ULG with the random layout, the processing speed of the ULG is slow, but it is very useful in finding the relationships between their own knowledge and other contexts.
But processing speed is not everything.
Still, despite continuing advances in computer processing speed and memory capacity, there are as yet no programs that can match human flexibility over wider domains or in tasks requiring much everyday knowledge.
The computer industry has generally stopped relying on regular increases in the processing speed of chips.
The Intel chip with a processing speed of 33 megahertz was the 80386, not 80286.
Of course, given the volume of mail, processing speed was not an issue in the 1700s.
