Cover Story: Figural matrices are a widely used method for assessing reasoning ability. In this study (N = 198), we examined how three sub-components of time on task (ToT) relate to structured matrix processing: onset times (before engaging with the first matrix rule), interrule times (between the rules), and intrarule times (within a single rule). While onset times appear to reflect a global orientation reaction and intrarule times represent primarily behavioral aspects, we found evidence that interrule times, in particular, capture the core cognitive component of matrix processing. Based on interrule times, two clusters were identified, one of which exhibited more structured matrix processing. The three sub-components accounted for an incremental 24.30%, 6.21%, and 22.42% of the variance in performance on three matrix tests, beyond mere ToT. View this paper
