“…In recent years measures of individual differences based on componential cognitive theory have been developed to supplement or replace traditional psychometric measures frequently used for selecting and training individuals (Carroll, 1976;Farr, 1984;Hunt, 1978Hunt, , 1983Hunt, , 1984Office of Naval Research, 1987;Stemberg, 1986). Most componential theories of cognition are variations of an information-processing model involving sequences of mental operations (Carroll, 1988;Farr, 1984;Wickens, 1984). Researchers often attempt to isolate these mental operations by computing derived APPLIED PSYCHOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT Vol.…”

This article demonstrates that slope and ratio scores may have the same psychometric difficulties—low re-liability—as difference scores. Empirically, direct measures and derived scores from Baron's, Collins', Meyer's, and Posner's cognitive paradigms were examined in terms of their reliabilities and cross-correlations. Reliabilities of the direct measures and their intercorrelations were high. The derived measures, which were slope, ratio, and difference scores, had reliabilities near zero and, therefore, their cross-correlations were also low. It is concluded that derived scores, although intuitively appealing as measures of mental operations, may have inherent psychometric difficulties that render them of little value for differential prediction. Index terms: cognitive paradigms, difference scores, individual differences, prediction, ratio scores, reliability, slope scores.
