Intelligence and psychology citations bibliography for updating this and other articles
You may find it helpful while reading or editing articles to look at a bibliography of Intelligence Citations, posted for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human intelligence or psychology and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in these issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research. You can help other Wikipedians by suggesting new sources through comments on that page. It will be extremely helpful for articles on psychology to edit them according to the Wikipedia standards for reliable sources for medicine-related articles, as it is important to verify articles on these issues as well as possible. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 21:14, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect formula?
The article states: $$ \text{Reaction Time} = \text{Movement Time} + \frac{\log_{2}(n)}{\text{Processing Speed}} $$

where n is the number of choices. The time it takes to come to a decision is:

$$\text{Processing Speed} \cdot \log_2(n)$$ It seems to me, from the context, that the last line should be log(n) divided by Processing Speed, not log(n) multiplied by Processing Speed.   Solo Owl   00:14, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

That's why I like the command-line and autocomplete inputs
That's why I like the command-line and autocomplete inputs.

Scanning with my eyes through a menu is avoidable/useless cognitive load.

I know what I want, and I can type faster with my fingers than I can scan a huge list with my eyes.

The perfect combination: i-search/autocomplete: I enter some characters and then long list gets reduced to few or one entry.
