Subclaims¶

q3 i? Factor loadings of the distinct abilities processing speed model were invariant across the three cultural groups, supporting configural invariance. → Papadopoulos 2018

Evidence¶

Papadopoulos 2018¶

Papadopoulos, T. C., Georgiou, G. K., Deng, C., & Das, J. P. (2018). The Structure of Speed of Processing Across Cultures. Advances in Cognitive Psychology, 14(3), 112–125. https://doi.org/10.5709/acp-0243-7

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Multi-group SEM invariance testing (configural, weak, strong, partial metric) across the Canadian, Chinese, and Greek samples supported the same distinct abilities factor structure across cultures. The configural model was retained after comparisons among hierarchical invariance models.

"the analysis showed that factor loadings were invariant across groups. The intercept indicators were also invariant"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Processing speed measured with response times is better represented as four distinct cognitive processes (planning, attention, simultaneous, successive) than as a unitary speed factor — related
• The unitary ability processing speed model fits significantly worse than the bifactor model in the Canadian and Greek groups — related
• Successive processing measures show the fewest significant correlations with other speeded measures, particularly in Chinese and Greek groups — related
