Cover Story: Figural matrices are widely used to assess reasoning ability, yet their underlying cognitive processes are only partially understood. The two-process theory of matrix reasoning suggests that solving these tasks requires induction and goal management. Previous research has focused on correlations with abilities associated with these processes, neglecting their potential interaction, as suggested by the two-process theory. To elucidate this interaction, this study uses cognitive diagnostic models to reconstruct item response patterns from rationally constructed figural matrices administered to a large sample of high-ability individuals. Rather than suggesting an interaction, the results revealed a more complex interplay between processes, supporting the role of induction in matrix reasoning. View this paper
