• The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among experimental tasks developed by Das and Naglieri (1987) to measure planning, attention, simultaneous, and successive (PASS) cognitive processing following from A.R. Luria's theoretical model. The LISREL confirmatory factor analysis approach was used to test the congruence between the experimental tasks and the PASS model, as well as several other competing models. The PASS model was compared with a null (one-factor g), a memory-reasoning, a verbal-nonverbal, and a verbal-spatial-speed model. The results indicated, for samples of students in grades kindergarten-2 ( n = 75) and 5- 12( N = 132), that in terms of a number of criteria for evaluating model goodness of fit the PASS model provided the best conceptualization of the underlying relationships among the set of tasks included in this study.
