A brief computerized form of a schematic analogy task

The nature of the components derived from componential analysis has not been fully established. A computerized version of the People Pieces Analogy Task used by Sternberg is described, and despite different materials and pace of testing, results similar so those of Sternberg are reported. These are then used to develop and validate a shorter form of the task, suitable for administration together with a battery of tests to measure other cognitive and psychometric variables. This test will enable further individual difference research into the relationships between components, cognitive processing measures and ability factor scores
