Abstract
Present research aims to study the processing speed index of children at metropolitan city (Gurgaon- sea level) and remote area (Ladakh- very high altitude ). It has been hypothesised that there will be significant difference in the processing speed index of children residing at metropolitan city and remote area. For this purpose processing speed index of 30 students is assessed with the help of Coding performance subtests of Malin's intelligence battery (an Indian adaptation of Weischler's Intelligence battery). 15 students from a public school from a metropolitan city are assessed on coding subtest and same procedure is replicated in remote area of Ladakh. Result findings reveal a significant difference (p=<0.01,t=3.12) in the mean of processing speed index at metropolitan city (Gurgaon-sea level) and remote area (Ladakh-very high altitude). It shows that the processing speed index in children residing in metro city is more than the children of remote area.
