| Verbal intelligence | Numerical intelligence | Figural intelligence |

Visualization | .022 (p = .900) | -.030 (p = .862) | -.140 (p = .424) |
Verbalization | -.345 (p = .042)* | -.293 (p = .087) | -.160 (p = .358) |
- The table shows the product moment correlation coefficients between verbalization/ visualization and intelligence, statistical significance is given in brackets. No significant correlations between the self-reported use of verbalization or visualization in solving arithmetic word problems and numerical or figural intelligence were observed (n = 36). Moreover, no significant correlation between the self-reported use of visualization in solving arithmetic word problems and verbal intelligence was observed (n = 36), but a significant negative correlation between the self-reported use of verbalization in solving arithmetic word problems and verbal intelligence was observed (n = 36). However, it should be mentioned that this correlation is not significant any more after Bonferroni correction. (We used a Bonferroni correction for the number of content areas of intelligence for each modality. Thus, the critical p value was .017 (.05 / 3)).
