Abstract
This research has two interrelated aims. The first aim of the research is to present the relationship between the Speed Based Verbal Reasoning (SBVR) subtest, which calculates reasoning speed by adjusting the Anadolu-Sak Intelligence Scale (ASIS) Verbal Reason- ing (VR) subtest, and the CAS 2 intelligence scale and RIAS-2 intelligence scale speed subtests. The second aim of the research is to examine the reliability of the SBVR subtest, the item-total correlations and its rela- tionship to the ASIS index scores. The research em- ployed a correlational survey model and the study sample consisted of 211 students aged 6 to 7. The reli- ability of the SBVR subtest was found to be high (α =.84). However, we found that there is a small level relationship between SBVR and speed variables (rHD- SAM-SPS =-.16, rHDSAM-PNM =.18, rHDSAM-ND =.21 and rHDSAM- SNT =.20), a moderate level (r =.35) relationship with the memory capacity index, and a moderate level (r=.31) and significant relationship with the nonverbal poten- tial index. The research demonstrates the discrepancy between the reasoning speed and the perceptual speed.

Bu çalışma birbiri ile bağlantılı iki amaca hizmet et- mektedir. Araştırmanın ilk amacı, Anadolu-Sak Zekâ Ölçeği (ASİS) Sözel Analojik Muhakeme (SAM) alt testi puanlama yönteminin değiştirilmesiyle oluştu- rulan ve muhakeme hızını ölçen HDSAM alt testiyle CAS 2 zekâ ölçeği ve RIAS-2 zekâ ölçeğinin algı hızını ölçen alt testleri arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın ikinci amacı, HDSAM alt testinin güve- nirliğini, madde-toplam korelasyonunu ve ASİS en- deks puanlarıyla olan ilişkisini incelemektir. Araş- tırma ilişkisel tarama modeliyle desenlenmiş ve araş- tırmanın örneklemini 6 ile 7 yaş arasındaki 211 öğ- renci oluşturmuştur Araştırma bulgularına göre HDSAM alt testinin güvenirliğinin yüksek (α=.84) ol- duğu görülmüştür. Diğer taraftan HDSAM ile hız de- ğişkenleri arasında küçük (rHDSAM-SPS=-.16, rHDSAM- PNM=.18, rHDSAM-ND=.21 ve rHDSAM-SNT=.20), bellek kapasi- tesi endeksi ile orta (r=.35), görsel potansiyel endeksi ile orta (r=.31) düzeyde anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak araştırma, muhakeme hızıyla algı hızı- nın farklılaştığını literatürdeki korelasyon araştırma- ları çerçevesinde desteklemektedir.
