Information processing speed (IPS) evaluates the time at which a person reacts to a stimulus. The Wechsler for Adults-III (WAIS-III) includes this domain in the digit symbol test (DS-T).
The aim of this study was to validate a new screening test that could measure the IPS in association with the individual's age and scholarship.
A new instrument to measure the IPS was constructed, automatic cashier test (AC-T), and for its validation, the DS-T was also carried out.
The media of time use in the ACT was 12.3 s; the media of hits in the DS-T was 38.8, with a p<0.0001 and R: 0.40.
P-value showed a linear association between the two tests, but the R results showed a low association between these. In the same way, the correlation between both tests is promising, since it shows that both are tests that measure the IPS in a different way with different constructs such as the verbal fluency test that is also used to evaluate IPS. On the other hand, both tests exposed that the scholarship positively influences the IPS.
信息处理速度（IPS）评估个体对刺激做出反应的时间。成人韦氏智力量表第三版（WAIS - III）在数字符号测验（DS - T）中纳入了该领域。
本研究旨在验证一种新的筛查测试，该测试能够结合个体年龄和学业水平来测量IPS。
构建了一种用于测量IPS的新工具，即自动收银机测试（AC - T），并通过进行DS - T来对其进行验证。
AC - T的平均用时为12.3秒；DS - T的平均命中数为38.8，p < 0.0001，R值为0.40。
p值显示两种测试之间存在线性关联，但R值结果显示两者之间的关联较低。同样，两种测试之间的相关性很可观，因为这表明它们都是以不同方式测量IPS的测试，具有不同的结构，例如言语流畅性测试也用于评估IPS。另一方面，两种测试都表明学业水平对IPS有积极影响。
