Issues in Testing for Processing Capacity: Portrait of Convergent Validity with Oblique Rotations in the Background

University of Padova, Italy

Alda Scopesi

University of Genova, Italy

Commenting on a note by Steven Pulos, it is argued that a relationship between processing capacity and field independence, reported by Case and Globerson (1974) and Morra and Scopesi (1988), is compatible with the view that field independence tests are also demanding in terms of processing capacity. This does not imply that one should refrain from using a battery of tests in measuring M capacity. It is also noted that our previous research emphasised convergent validity because of current rhetorical needs, and we agree with Pulos that the nature of the relationship between processing capacity and other abilities deserves to be investigated more deeply.
