Working Memory Capacity, Perceptual Speed, and Fluid Intelligence: an Eye Movement Analysis

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge the efforts of several individuals during the course of this work. First, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Randy Engle, for his guidance and support on this project and in gene ral throughout my graduate career. I also would like to thank my other committee members, Drs. Paul Corballis and Dan Spieler, for taking the time to listen to my questions and to offer suggestions when needed. Along the same lines, I would like to thank the other graduate students in my lab (Dr. Ilkowska) for their comments after various drafts and presentations of this research. I would also like to thank Aida Aguilera Martinez, as her time in the lab as a visiting researcher is why this project started when it did. I have several family members to thank as well, including my parents (Gary & Leanne Morton), for their encouragement and interest in a topic solely because it was my research. Last, but certainly not least, the biggest thank-you of all goes to my wife, Amanda; I hope you know how much your support means to me.
