Chinese - American (CA) and Anglo - American (AA) children in grades 4 to 6 were compared on a non verbal test of intelligence (Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices) and 12 chronometric variables, which measure the speed and consistency of retrieval of well-learned simple arithmetic facts (i.e. addition, subtraction, and multiplication of single digits) from long-term memory (LTM). Despite their extreme simplicity, these chronometric variables are correlated with psychometric intelligence. In this study, the CA and AA groups differed significantly on these chronometric variables, but the differences appear to be multi dimensional and cannot be attributed simply to the groups' difference in psychometric intelligence. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that accessing elementary arithmetic knowledge in LTM is a more completely automatized process in the CA than in the AA pupils.
