This study examined the relationships among experimental tasks developed by Das and Naglieri (1988) to measure Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive (PASS) cognitive processing and other tests that theoretically fit within the model of intelligence. Luria's theoretical model was examined by Lisrel confirmatory factor analysis to examine the congruence between the variables and the PASS model for kindergarten-aged normal males and females. The results demonstrated that the PASS model is a sound conceptualization of the relationships that underlie the tasks in this study. These results support other confirmatory factorial studies that have found the PASS model to be a viable alternative model of cognitive functioning.
