“…The present findings extend previous results linking P3b latency and g (e.g. De Pascalis, Varriale, & Matteoli, 2008), and identify possible relationships between g and different processing stages. That the stimulus-locked data show such a pattern suggests that it could reflect an association between psychometric intelligence and pre-decision processes.…”

The worst performance rule is the tendency for participants' slowest reaction times to correlate more with psychometric intelligence than their faster reaction times. Reaction times, however, are influenced by the duration of multiple perceptual, attentional, and motor sub-processes, and it is unclear whether the same pattern exists in these sub-processes as well. We used single-trial event-related potentials to identify whether a worst performance rule pattern could be found in stimulus and response-locked P3b latency distributions and scores on a test of non-verbal psychometric intelligence. Fifty participants carried out a set of working memory oddball tasks, while electroencephalographic data were collected, and the British Version of the Intelligence Structure Test, in a separate session. Single-trial P3b latencies were identified in stimulus and response-locked data and a novel quantile bootstrapping method was used to identify which quantiles of the P3b latency distributions correlated most with test scores. In stimulus-locked data, correlations between quantile mean and test scores became more negative with increasing quantile, showing clear evidence of a worst performance rule pattern. In response-locked data, low scorers showed more extreme latencies in both tails of the distribution. However we did not observe a worst performance rule in behavioural data. These data suggest that psychometric intelligence is also associated with response-related processes, which may also contribute to the association between psychometric intelligence and reaction time variability.

“…Given that both processing of frequency and duration uniquely explained portions of variance of MA, previous studies relying solely on frequency discrimination (e.g., Beauchamp & Stelmack, 2006;De Pascalis et al, 2008) may underestimate the relation between P300 latency and MA. Furthermore, the unique contributions point to a dissociation of the relations between MA and frequency and duration processing at the stage of stimulus evaluation and classification as indexed by P300.…”

“…Shorter P300 latency for higher MA is commonly observed indicating that individuals with higher MA evaluate and classify information more rapidly (Bazana & Stelmack, 2002;Beauchamp & Stelmack, 2006;De Pascalis, Varriale, & Matteoli, 2008;Jaušovec & Jaušovec, 2000;O'Donnell, Friedman, Swearer, & Drachman, 1992;.…”

“…Positive correlations between MA and P300 amplitude are consistently reported when P300 is derived from sufficiently difficult oddball tasks (Bazana & Stelmack, 2002;Beauchamp & Stelmack, 2006;De Pascalis et al, 2008;Fjell & Walhovd, 2003;Jaušovec & Jaušovec, 2000). Beauchamp and Stelmack (2006) suggested that such a positive relation is more pronounced in more difficult oddball tasks compared to easier tasks where a reliable relationship between MA and P300 amplitude could not be observed (e.g., Polich & Martin, 1992).…”

“…The salient effect was a shorter MMN latency for HA versus LA observed at intervals (ITI) of 25, 50 and 150 ms between the deviant and masking tones across a range of intensity levels, (Bazana & Stelmack, 2002;De Pascalis et al, 2005). Interestingly, in both of these masking studies, MMN latency decreased with shorter ITI, rather than increased as expected.…”
