Abstract
Three groups of subjects were tested with serial reaction time tests of varying complexity and presentation rate. An ECG was collected from each subject throughout the test, and a measure of internal processing speed was defined using the ECG as input. It was found that there was an observable effect of the internal processing speed on the response rate of the subjects. An examination of relative scholastic achievement of the subjects showed that it was related to the change in the subject's performance as the complexity of the serial reaction time test was increased.
