Performance on Two Reasoning Tasks in Relation to Intelligence, Divergence and Interference Proneness

S ummary . In this study performance on reasoning tasks commonly used in psychological experiments was compared with scores on tests of convergent and divergent thinking. The relations between performance on a deductive and an inductive task, and scores on the AH5, Uses of Objects and Stroop tests were investigated in 38 first‐year undergraduates. The results showed a positive correlation between performance on the deductive task and AH5 scores, a negative correlation between performance on the inductive task and scores on the Uses of Objects test, and a negative correlation between AH5 and Stroop scores. Implications for an analysis of the two reasoning tasks were discussed
