The current research was conducted to determine if reliable and valid computerized information processing (IP) measures could be constructed based on a traditional test development framework. A battery of eight computerized IP measures was developed and administered to 64 subjects who also completed a test of general mental ability and a computerized simulation of a transport driver task. The computerized IP measures had adequate split-half and test-retest reliabilities. A majority of the computerized IP measures were correlated with the simulator quantity criterion.
