General Intellectual Ability is an overall measure of cognitive ability derived from tests of vocabulary, quantitative
reasoning, working memory, perceptual speed, phonological processing, meaningful memory, and visualization ability.
Brief Intellectual Ability is an estimate of general cognitive ability derived from tests of vocabulary, quantitative reasoning,
and working memory capacity.
The Gf-Gc Composite is a combined measure of two of the most important cognitive abilities: verbal comprehension-
knowledge and fluid reasoning.
Comprehension-Knowledge is a combined measure of Alma’s oral vocabulary and general information abilities.
Fluid Reasoning is a combined measure of quantitative reasoning and the ability to form concepts.

Short-Term Working Memory is a measure of Alma’s capacity to attend to information, hold the information in immediate
awareness, and then perform a mental operation on the information, such as answering a question about the information or
rearranging the information to meet a task demand.
Cognitive Processing Speed is the ability to perform automatic, simple and repetitive cognitive tasks, particularly when
measured under pressure to sustain controlled attention and concentration.
Auditory Processing is a combined measure of phonological processing and phonological memory.
Long-Term Retrieval is a measure of Alma’s ability to listen to and learn information and then recall it later.
Visual Processing is the ability to perceive, analyze, synthesize, and think with visual patterns, including the ability to store
and correctly identify visual images from memory.
Cognitive Efficiency is a combined measure of two aspects of information processing: letter-pattern matching speed and
working memory capacity.
