Studies suggest that there is a _______between intelligence and the neural processing speed in the brain.

To learn whether intelligence is related to information-processing capacities, researchers have tested participants to determine how long it takes them to perceive briefly presented visual images.
The speed with which people retrieve information from memory has been found to be a predictor of their verbal intelligence.
Example:
Precocious 12 to 14 year-old college students with unusually high levels of verbal intelligence are most likely to retrieve information from memory at an unusually rapid speed.

Answer:

positive correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

Neural processing speed determine the time that a person need in order to do a certain level of mental tasks. When solving a complicated problems, sometimes we need to pass through several different mental process before eventually come up with the solution. People with higher neural processing speed will finished the mental processes a lot faster and can come up with multiple solutions with the same time frame as people with slow neural processing speed.
