| Abstract: | ABSTRACT. In an experimental approach to the study of intelligence, information processing components of intelligent task performance were identified using componential analysis. The aim was to replicate Sternberg's (1982) nonentrenched color naming experiment using South African university students as subjects. The same information processing model that Steinberg tested accounted for 90% of variance in response latencies and 66% of variance in errors in this study. The residuals of model lit were highly systematic across subjects, however, probably reflecting task content-specific factors. Discriminant validity of the componential analysis was demonstrated using the Conceptual Reasoning Test (1980) and the Mental Alertness test of the High-Level Battery (1972) of the National Institute for Personnel Research in South Africa. The results of this study support the notion that nonentrenched laboratory tasks specifically require fluid abilities, thus countering the criticisms regarding the theoretical validity of componential analysis.
